Projects
GPE is committed to making a difference and one of the ways we do this is through our projects. Our current & past projects are listed below.
Rwanda
This year, we will be taking two teams of volunteers to Rwanda in June & July to construct an IT school for orphans
& street children abandoned after the 1994 genocide. In addition to this, we will be providing around 20,000 de-worming
treatments and engaging in independent service projects.

Ghana
In May of 2007, Global Peace Exchange went to Ghana. While the first week of our project was spent in an orphanage
north of Accra, we spent the majority of our trip at the Buduburam Refugee Settlement, a UNHCR camp 47km outside of
Accra. While there, Global Peace Exchange was able to provide some 2000 treatments against intestinal worms, support
scholarships for ex-child soldiers as well as create and support initiatives for vocational training and education of
many of the camp’s less fortunate.
Global Peace Exchange currently maintains a volunteer program in Ghana. Volunteers work with our partners in the Buduburam Refugee Camp during the summer. Volunteer projects include capacity-building and grass-roots development work among many of the camp's less fortunate.
