The project is to advocate for women, children and families in the fight against preventable diseases as well as mobilizing
communities, strengthening their capacity and using their own resources for acceptable and sustainable projects. The organization's

HIV/AIDS by offering free training programs for the communities in rural communities in the Volta Region of Ghana.

Note: You should be in reasonably good health due to the extreme heat and conditions of transportation and facilities
in Ghana. Please be resourceful because you will not have the same access to materials that you may be accustomed to, especially
in the schools. Ability to plan and be self-motivated is important, as you often won't have direct supervision. It is also
important to be flexible and patient, as it may take longer than you expect to accomplish just about anything.
