Most halls in Ghana don’t provide a toaster and a kettle , but you can still check what you get before you go. Many won’t provide things like microwaves, and you might want to club in together with your flatmates for this once you’re a bit more settled. The essentials you’ll need are:

a few mugs and glasses
a couple of saucepans and frying pans
a chopping board and some baking trays
cutlery and some chopping knives
plates and bowls
bin bags, sandwich bags, foil, and cling film
any utensils you need, like a wooden spoon, spatula, and pizza wheel
tea towels
Tupperware
some cupboard essentials, like teabags, baked beans, and pasta, to get you through the first few days
