VOLUNTEER PLACEMENTS
The following is a list of available volunteer placements at VEG. In addition, if you are interested conducting research we can help you organize and plan your project.
Solar panels and electricity engineering
The goal of the Lady Volta Green Tech Academy is to train disadvantaged young people, mainly women, to become competent, skilled and professional electricians and solar engineers. At the end of the program, students will be ready to start a successful career in electrical repairs and installation, or solar power engineering. Students will also acquire all the necessary business, management and professional skills to manage a successful business and develop “lifeskills” such as autonomy, professionalism and responsibility. You give a course on any of the above topics or teach in our electricity workshop. Retirees are welcome!>>Read More Here
Sexual and Reproductive Health Volunteer
Our program aims to promote safer sexual practices in the population especially among vulnerable groups, to reduce sexual transmission of HIV, to increase the proportion of women and infants completing the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) programme by generating demand for services at the community level, and to carry out HIV Testing and Counseling (HTC). This project aims to reduce new HIV infections through Behavioral Change Communication (BCC) activities. Volunteers with communication skills, knowledge of the HIV/AIDS issue, social workers, desktop publishers to make posters and brochures, young and older, are all welcome to support our team and its group of peer educators . >>Read More Here
