Our mission is to connect individuals or groups looking for the opportunity to ‘give back’ to the very people who need their support. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement where volunteers experience a whole new culture with all its complexities, whilst engendering improvement within the community.

Our Vision

We envisage a voluntary journey, promoting self-awareness in the individual volunteer, and the opportunity to give as well as to receive.

Our Objective

Our main objective is to mobilise our resources to educate and empower the less privileged, especially women and girls through volunteering and internship support.

Why SFLIG?

Solutions for Life Initiative – Ghana is a non-government organisation aimed at providing education for some of the most vulnerable in our society – particularly girls and young mothers – so that they may become leaders of change for future generations.

Whilst education is ‘free’ in Ghana there are still expenses incurred to provide for the students – uniforms, school lunches, textbooks, supplies, registration fees and transportation. Culturally, when presented with the expenses of educating a child, the decision to choose between a son’s education and a daughter’s, most families will invest in their son. This is a result of further opportunities offered to boys in civil service work compared with the agricultural and informal opportunities available to girls.

SFLIG provides direct assistance in improving the educational outcomes of female adolescents. This is evident in the development of the training and education given to teenagers through our CHANGEMAKERS AMBASSADORS CLUB (CMAC), the informal education given in the CMAC and the direct financial contributions made to selected young girls so that they may successfully complete high school.

Again our sanitary pad and girls hygiene campaign that seeks to educate girls on their reproductive rights and hygiene helps to provide sanitary towels quarterly to girls in most orphanage and deprive homes to help curb girls’ absenteeism in school during that time of the month with fear of getting their dresses stain with blood for their friends especially the males to notice it.

These initiatives allow SFLIG to battle illiteracy and the drop-out rates of young women, educate and empower teenagers to make informed decisions about their education and lifestyle choices and to open their eyes to the possibilities that they have as young Ghanaian leaders of tomorrow.

These are the reasons you should consider volunteering with us!  You will see evidence of the impact you are making with your money, time, love and of course the faith you place in us in traveling to an unknown land. We don’t only place you in a project; we work with you at your placement location.
