Volta Home is an orphanage for children in the Eastern Highlands of Ghana.

This Home lies within farming land in the beautiful hills above the huge Volta River in Eastern Ghana. The orphanage shelters about 40 children and is run by Pastor Issa Dan Annabi and his wife.

This family has been sharing their home and very limited resources with orphaned or homeless children for 30 years 

Like many African orphanages, Voltahome exists because there are too many motherless children and no government funds to protect them. Left in their own villages these children would usually not attend school and would face a lifetime of servitude to the neighbouring families, while some of the little girls would be sold as slaves to local fetish priests. Eventually many of these children would die from the combined effects of starvation and disease.

The orphanage consists of scattered buildings with traditional outdoor cooking houses and toilet structures. Pastor Annabi manages the farm with help from the older children. There are corn and yam crops, animals and various varieties of root vegetables

The small school attached to the orphanage is attended by 70 to 80 pupils. It has very limited furniture and almost no teaching equipment. 

Books are precious, so teaching is done with the teacher working from the only available text book. Despite this, the school achieved excellent reults in the state final primary exams in 2009 and again 2010

The Volta Home children depend on help from their overseas friends.  There is no way Pastor Annabi can feed and educate these chidlren without help from volunteers and sponsors.

Much has been achieved in 5 years  -  but more needs to be done !
