Ghana programs
Starting in March 2026, we’re proudly partnering with ILEAP in Ghana, a local nonprofit organization, to provide two volunteer programs focused on improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Clinical Service Experience
Volunteer Program 1
If you’re a healthcare professional or student seeking a meaningful commitment, our year-round volunteer program is designed for you.
Our volunteers serve in one or more of our affiliate labor and delivery or neonatal units in Ghana, gaining hands-on clinical experience in Ghanaian maternal-child health settings.
This program offers the opportunity to learn from a different healthcare system, build cross-cultural relationships, and work alongside dedicated local providers and families.
Depending on the length of your stay, additional opportunities to support clinical education and teaching may also be available.
-
For this volunteer program, we accept nurses, nursing or medical students, midwives, midwife students, advance practice nurses, doctors, and residents. If your occupation or field of study isn’t listed, but may still qualify, please get in touch.
-
We require a minimum commitment of 1 week of volunteer service. However, we recommend 2 weeks for full cultural immersion and clinical engagement.
-
Our volunteers currently serve at the following locations:
Abokobi Polyclinic
Achimota Hospital
Ga East Hospital
-
We’re proud to support our volunteers by providing:
Lodging
Three meals per day
Airport pickup and drop-off
Local guide support
Opportunities for clinical teaching (based on duration of stay)
In addition, throughout their stay, all volunteers will gain meaningful experience by contributing directly to patient care, staff support, and health education.

Ghanaian Midwives Maternal-Infant Health Task Force
Volunteer Program #2
This volunteer task force was designed by Ghanaian midwife Elizabeth Dankwah, and is currently led by a team of dedicated local midwives. Together, they work to disseminate maternal-infant health education from the Stephanie-Ekua Global Midwife Foundation (SEGMF) throughout all 16 health districts in Ghana.
The task force is currently in need of additional Ghanaian midwives to serve locally, as well as US-based midwives and advanced practice nurses to volunteer as virtual educators.
