Our Hosts
The host families reflect the diversity of our region. They come from a variety of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. What they have in common is an interest in other cultures and a willingness to share their homes with international visitors. We hope that you will be open to the fun and challenges of living in a new culture!
All our hosts go through a careful screening process:
- Hosts complete a detailed application form.
- They have hosted before on other volunteer programs.
- We visit their home and verify all living spaces, the family's lifestyle, and general upkeep.
- We call their references and verify their eligibility as hosts.
- We talk with them on the phone frequently to help them adjust as new homestay hosts.
Although we are committed to making appropriate and comfortable homestay matches. We will do our best to ensure an enjoyable and safe homestay, but please be prepared to experience, learn about, and enjoy Ghanaian cultural diversity.
