How safe are the PREVOG Volunteers and Interns Programs?
Safety is our number one priority. At PREVOG we operate programs in carefully chosen areas that offer a safe environment for the volunteer. Although Ghana is a very peaceful country we take great strides to ensure the safety of our volunteers or interns. 

What are the accommodation and food arrangement?
The accommodation we provide are HOMESTAY arrangements. The families who host our volunteers are couples with or without children, joint families, single parents. Our friendly host family housing consists of a comfortable house in a safe, conveniently-located neighborhood, Clean, fenced. Lodging arrangements always have basic amenities like modern toilet facility and running water (including hot water where appropriate). Volunteers will have a room for him or her self with a comfortable bed and a fan. You will be getting 3 Meals per day (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) which are prepared daily and served by the host family when ever you are at home. The meals are traditional, but very nutritious by Ghanaian standard. If you wish to arrange your own food due to special dietary restrictions or preferences, then discuss it with PREVOG ahead of time. Utility bills are taken care of by the host family.

A homestay accommodation fully immerse volunteers in the Ghanaian way of life, culture, learning of new language and so on. A Ghanaian host family requires that the volunteer who live in their home should be willing to become part of his/her host family with the same rights, that he/she should be prepared to help with the daily household chores (clean his/her room, help to prepare meals or to clean the dishes etc.) The volunteer is required to participate in family activities, help in the kitchen and play with the children.
