Taking time out overseas is often a daunting prospect, particularly if you have little or no experience travelling in lesser economically developed countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Your safety and support is our prime concern so we employ local staff in all our destinations to ensure your programme runs smoothly. They are on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week in the unlikely event of any emergency and are available during office hours if you need any help or advice.

HOPE AND SERVICE TO MANKIND FOUNDATION (Hope For Rural Dwellers) is a Voluntary, Non-profit, Charitable, Social, Non-political, Non-governmental, Inter-faith and Welfare Organisation Registered in Ghana Under section 27 and 28 of 1963 Companies Code (Act 179) with registration number G-35, 853.

Reasoning and feeling responsible of being carers and sharers of divine love and being of  service to mankind, we decided assisting in our own small way, towards achieving happiness for mankind. Our aim is to complement Governments, Non-government organizations, Cooperate bodies, Donors, and other agencies effort in combating Poverty, Disaster, Disability, Diabetes, Homelessness, HIV/AIDS, Community Development  and others.

Our overseas volunteer projects are carefully selected and regularly monitored. They all need volunteers so there is a clear, defined role for you.

Before you make a commitment we like to chat to potential volunteers over the phone and then meet you informally to discuss your project. It's a little more involved than other gap year organisations, but we want you to enjoy the best, most suitable placement rather than simply take your money.

Unbound Expeditions provide you with the opportunity to volunteer on community and conservation projects, to trek some of the world's most breathtaking trails and to stay in the heart of local communities; giving you the chance to get off the beaten track and see the world from a new perspective.
