The Peace Corp is made of up entirely volunteers and has helped poverty striken nations all over the world. The Corp was created in 1961 by John F. Kennedy and has helped over 139 countries at this point. The Peace Corp has three main goals which are the following:

1.Helping the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women.

2.Helping promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.

3.Helping promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.

In Ghana specifically the Peace Corp has helped the citizens and the people how to better their lives through education and awareness. They also have taught the people how to find water and other basic survival skills.
