A Worthwhile Experience

• Make a real difference by helping people in Ghana with homeopathy
• Visit our outreach clinics in Accra and Kumasi, as well as in rural areas of Ghana
• Gain hands-on experience in treating both acute and chronic conditions
• Meet local people and experience the Ghanaian way of life
• Enjoy sight-seeing – or just a day at the beach

We offer supervision to students or newly qualified practitioners. More experienced practitioners will also be invited to help with clinical training and the continuing professional development of Ghanaian homeopaths.Seeing clients at the clinic in Accra
As the Ghana Homeopathy Project is a small charity relying on donations, we seek to cover our costs by asking volunteers to pay a contributory fee for participation in the programme. Previous volunteers have commented that they felt enriched and inspired by their experience, on a professional and personal level. Placements can be arranged for the duration of two weeks or more and the project will also continue to need long-term volunteers. The GHP team will be offering recruitment and induction sessions in the course of the year.

Calling experienced homeopaths for long term volunteering!

We are especially seeking experienced homeopaths who can stay for longer periods and offer guidance and supervision to our homeopathic students in Ghana as well as supporting our less experienced volunteers.

If you would like to find out more, please contact Angelika Metzger or Linda Shannon for a preliminary chat. See the contacts page on this website. We are looking forward to hearing from you!

About Homeopathy

Over thirty million people in Europe already benefit from homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy could help you too.
What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a gentle, holistic system of healing, suitable for everyone, young and old. Homeopathy focuses on you as an individual, concentrating on treating your specific physical and emotional symptoms, to give long lasting benefits.

* Homeopathic treatment works with your body's own healing powers to bring health and well being.
* Patients are treated as individuals, not as a collection of disease labels.
* Homeopathy treats all your symptoms - mental, emotional and physical.
* Homeopathic remedies are gentle, subtle and powerful.

To get in touch with a qualified homeopath near you, call The Society of Homeopaths on 0845 450 6611 who will give you a list of professional, registered homeopaths nearest to your home, and answer any of your questions.
How long has Homeopathy been used?

Homeopathy has been used in the UK for over two hundred years, but has an honourable tradition dating back to ancient Greece. It was Samuel Hahnemann, a brilliant doctor working in 1796 who developed the scientific and philosophical foundations of this gentler way of healing. These scientific principles form the basis of successful homeopathic practice today.
What happens when you see a homeopath?

Your homeopath understands that establishing good health involves treating both mind and body, so time is taken to listen to your emotional and physical symptoms. To stimulate your body's own healing process, a remedy closest to your individual symptom picture is prescribed. Healing begins from within your body, strengthening your health and immune system, without any danger of damaging side effects.
Are homeopathic remedies safe?

Homeopathic remedies are a unique, potentised energy medicine, drawn from the plant, mineral and animal worlds. They work by gently boosting the natural energy of the body, and are very safe, even for pregnant and sensitive patients. There is no danger of addiction or toxicity.
What can homeopathy treat?

Homeopathy treats the person, there is some evidence to suggest it can help a person manage the symptoms of acute fevers, sore throats and toothache, to chronic illnesses such as arthritis, eczema, asthma, anxiety and insomnia.
Where can I find a qualified homeopath?

The Society of Homeopaths produces a frequently updated register of professionally trained homeopaths, who work to the Society's Code of Ethics & Practice. You can find one in your area by consulting the register available on this website or telephone 0845 450 6611 and we will mail a copy to you.
