Anansi Education is pleased to offer the Anansi Abura House Volunteer Resident Position. Anansi Education is a non-profit organization founded in 2005 to provide scholarships to underprivileged Ghanaian youth to attend high school.

This position offers a unique and special volunteer opportunity. The volunteer resident will live with the students, allowing her to interact with them on a very close level and experience a local lifestyle.
