Sports Coaching Abroad

Each of our volunteer Sports projects share the following aims:Fostering of local sporting talent - through provision of quality coaches and support for our volunteer trainee coaches. Development of the wider communities in which we work - through the offering of alternatives to young people from impoverished areas. Inclusion - making sport available to all.
As a volunteer on a FWF Sports Project you will be helping with all these aspects of development whilst working with some of the most enthusiastic people in some of the poorest communities in the developing world.Your Role Volunteering Abroad on a Sports Project
Whatever sports placement you decide is right for you, football in Ghana, cricket in India or volleyball in Bolivia we can help you make the best of your time. You could be learning more about your sport in the morning and organising a match in the afternoon. Volunteer coaches are responsible for helping in the organisation of all aspects of sporting provision, from setting up training drills and fitness sessions, to coaching teams in competitive games.
Through well established relationships with local teams and clubs, and carefully structured sports placements we are able to assist volunteers regardless of coaching experience. Whatever your interests we can find the right Sports project for you!
FWF Medical Placements

We have a variety of Medical placements available in Ghana. You could work in a hospital, clinic or teaching hospital, in any one of a number of departments. If your interest is nursing, we have a number of institutions who would appreciate your help.

You can work in a variety of medical departments, where you can either assist or shadow the staff members. The type of work you will be allocated will depend to an extent on your own abilities and capabilities, which is understandable given that you will be dealing with patient health and safety. 
You will be involved in the day-to-day running of hospitals and clinics, observing or directly assisting the doctors and nurses. You can help out in simple but practical ways, vastly increasing your own knowledge and understanding of medical practice. You will get a good general feel of the Centre by working and/or observing in most departments and you will be exposed to hands-on nursing work. 
If you plan on specializing in a particular field of medicine, we can arrange to place you in a relevant department, to ensure that you receive maximum experience in your chosen field. Some of the specialist areas are described below.
