Film and Photography in Ghana

Volunteer role at the project:

Volunteers will be be involved in capturing the charities current building or educational developments so that donors can understand the latest achievements. Depending on needs of the community when you join your volunteer role may involve:

• Documenting building progress
• Capturing educational and community developments
• Producing educational community films on health and social issues alongside the local team
• Filming volunteers in action
• Providing updates to donors for the charities child sponsorship scheme

How the project is making a difference:

The Film and Photography project in Ghana engages with current and potential supporters to highlight the achievements of the charity’s work in Ghana.

The charity that you will work alongside in Ghana started their work in 2006 when they completed their first well which allowed a village of more than 300 people to access safe drinking water. Since then, they have helped many other villages to alleviate poverty with the help of volunteers on projects which include building wells, a clinic, schools, toilets, improving education and health initiatives.

Why volunteers are needed:

Volunteers bring their skills and experience to the community and capture up to date photographs and films that are needed for promotional purposes including the charity website, school sponsorship and fundraising. They are used to publicise the African charity as well as providing a means of feedback for current donors so they can see the project developments, helping form an important link between supporters and the community.

Volunteers are part of the charity's life changing development work which aims to provide safe drinking water, improved education and increased sanitation to local communities.
