Locals Helping Locals

In the heart of Ghana’s Kumbungu District lies Dnyo-Kpalgu, a vibrant community where tradition meets opportunity. As a CorpsAfrica Volunteer, my journey here is not just about service—it’s about integration and understanding. Embracing the spirit of “Locals Helping Locals,” I’ve immersed myself in the daily rhythms of this community, from working alongside farmers in the fertile fields to participating in lively social gatherings. This shared experience fosters a profound connection, bridging cultural gaps and empowering both the community and me. Join me as I explore the transformative power of grassroots collaboration and the bonds we forge through shared purpose.

Support Our Work

CorpsAfrica addresses two of Africa’s most difficult challenges: engaging youth and helping rural communities overcome extreme poverty. We recruit and train motivated volunteers to live and work in rural, under-resourced areas in their own countries. They collaborate with the community to design and implement small-scale projects that address their top priorities and, by doing so, gain the skills and experience that lay the foundation for personal and professional success.

CorpsAfrica trusts youth and communities to help each other.
