BOLGATANGA, Ghana
Beschreibung
Kongo Community Development Association (KoCDA) is a community-based organization located in Kongo, in Ghana’s Upper East Region. The organization is seeking a proactive individual to support ICT development among school children and the wider community in Kongo and Nabdam. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a grassroots organization in rural Ghana that is working to equip young learners with essential digital skills, support their growth, and prepare them for future opportunities in an increasingly digital world. The volunteer will help strengthen computer awareness among students and promote the use of ICT in teaching and learning. The volunteer will be working at the ICT classroom in Kongo village, recently acknowledged by the programme One Million Coders in Ghana, and as a result equipping the centre with new computers, AC and water to enable even more learners to benefit from the centre.
Beitrag zu Unterbringung, Verpflegung und Reisekosten
Volunteers will be accommodated at the NDAHA Guesthouse, where each person will have a private lockable room with an en-suite toilet and shower. Rooms are equipped with ceiling fans, although there is no air conditioning. The guesthouse has running water and electricity, and volunteers can prepare their own meals using the available kitchen, kitchen cabinets, and refrigerator. Tropical foods, fruits, and vegetables are available in the area, while supermarkets in the regional capital, Bolgatanga, provide access to additional supplies. Transport means are mini-buses and motorbikes.
Fortbildung im Rahmen der Tätigkeit
This opportunity is part of the RISE project (Reinforcing Inclusion through Solidarity and Empowerment), which offers volunteers the possibility to engage in local languages classes or intercultural activities, and benefit from three sides of mentoring (from the supporting organisation, the hosting organisation, and an alumni volunteer). Prior to the deployment, volunteers will go through pre-departure training activities. Once on the field, the volunteers will go through a welcome induction with KoCDA.
