Mobile Literacy Development in Ghana
Come and join us and work with a project whose mission it is to provide access to books and to increase the reading skills of children and adults through mobile literacy development in Ghana. Books are not easy to find and are often beyond the financial means of many in the poorer communities. The goal of the mobile literacy unit is to increase accessibility to books for those who otherwise would have few opportunities to read something different or to practice their reading skills once they are away from school.
Maintaining support for this project is key in order to continue to increase literacy levels, so fundraising and grant writing is needed by the project. Information regarding literacy levels, is an important aspect of this and the project undertakes reviews throughout the year to assess the progress of particular children and, to ascertain the progress that is being made more broadly. Contribute to the steps that are being taken to promote reading in Ghana and encourage learning by joining our mobile literacy development project.

Mission Statement
Kaya's mission is to promote sustainable social, environmental and economic development, empower communities and cultivate educated, compassionate global citizens through responsible travel.
Description
Responsible travel is about seeing the world in a manner that most respects and benefits local people, culture and the environment - it's travel in the real world, not tourism.
Every year thousands of people travel the globe looking to explore new environment and experience different cultures, with a spirit of adventure and a desire to learn more about the world.
As global travel becomes more accessible, and we look to visit further and more exotic locations, we often discover that the real world is not always easy to uncover, and often visitors don't get a chance to see beyond the window that tourism can offer.
As a volunteer, you have the opportunity to become a real part of the environments, lives and communities of the world's developing nations. And whether you chose to work on projects that benefit the wildlife, the environment or the people, you come away knowing that your being there has positively impacted those you have visited.
At Kaya, we pride ourselves on delivering only what is best for our volunteers and best for the communities which we are working with. You will find many volunteer organizations to chose between today, and many of these are also offering great placements around the world. But we believe that no-one works closer with their volunteers and with the receiving communities on the ground to make sure everyone can achieve the greatest benefits that volunteering has to offer.
For those of you who have skills that can benefit the projects, and even if you are looking to develop your professional skills in a developing country, your help is invaluable and Kaya staff will work with you to ensure your role matches your skill.
Internships, group ventures and specialist projects can be arranged by request.
