Salormey Volunteers
Group (SVG) is a registered not-for-profit Non-Governmental Organisation
(NGO) providing community development information and services in the
following areas: Health, Education, Environment and Information and Communication
Technologies. We are part of a common effort with other Ghanaians -individuals
and groups- to build a strong civil society, which will allow our voices
to be heard by those that can be of assistance to our common efforts.
Our focus is on the Kwahu South District Communities, in the Eastern Region of Ghana; we are currently building partnerships with institutions in other parts of the country (Kumasi, Accra and other communities and Districts in the Eastern Region).
SVG was born in 2001, after its founders saw it necessary to be part of the developmental process of Africa. The founders were Frederick Frempong (Forest Technical Officer), Okoto Coster (Metallurgic Engineer), Rebeca Marta Lago (Anthropologist) and Eric Dwamena (Private Businessman).
Our mission is to provide individuals and communities with the necessary tools to achieve self-empowerment and self-development, challenging dependency chains that constrain people’s initiatives and potential.
SVG consists of volunteers and staff. Volunteers are members who volunteer time, money and their expertise for the promotion and achievement of the organisation’s objectives. The staff takes care of administrational duties, the development and implementation/ evaluation of our projects, and the placement and supervision of volunteers.
• Volunteering programmes in the areas of Education and Health
• Community Libraries development
SVG's funding is obtained from Members, Volunteers and Government Projects. Individual organisations, both local and international, have provided their expertise, links and donations:
