Our Impact Since 2007

Through the interventions and collaborative effort of our local and international volunteers, partners and communities, we continue to chalk a lot of successes in the projects and the programmes we do.

 “With a little time to settle in VARAS will provide you with a home away from home.”

~Charlotte Cossey~ UK

“Working for VARAS has been a great experience. When I worked in the hospital I gained a lot of knowledge and experience. The organizers are great and always willing to help us. The village in which we lived was very welcoming and the people were all very nice to the volunteers. The programme as a whole is very safe and well organized. Ghana is a great country to travel around in.”~David Corcos- Canada

“VARAS brought my smile back after 8 years of helpless fight. I thank the almighty God for bringing VARAS to my rescue and may He continue to bless them.” ~ Charity Adanuvor~

 "I pray everyday that help come my way so I can be corrected and look normal as any others. Every second of my life is a hopeful second and I know one day, I will be among others evangelising." ~Esinam Amedzo~

                                                             Education Programme

 "It became so clear to me..., I had to admit my future aspirations are thwarted after missing two terms in school due to non payment of tuition fees. But now, my hopes are back, am grateful." ~ Rosalinda Kpeli~

                                                       Local and International Partners

 "We have collaborated with VARAS on several occasions and are always pleased with the result. Their Kente strips are fabulous, full of color, and detailed in their work. We also had VARAS personalize some Kente for an institutional project, and they came out perfect! We could not be happier to call VARAS a partner, and Sylvester our friend. We look forward to many future collaborations in which we can help this incredible organization to continue to do good in its community. Thank you, VARAS!" - Dr. Antonella Regueiro, Director of the Social Impact Lab at Lynn University.

"We love working with VARAS at Photographers Without Borders! Thank you for the wonderful work you do!" Founder, ~Danielle khan Da Silva~

I began working with VARAS in 2012 in areas of Medicine, Education, and Public health with 100% successful internship of our 15 students. VARAS is lead by a group of genuinely dedicated people with a passion to help. I look forward to our upcoming work together again. BGI International. MSR International 2009-2014."
