Schools for Children

Education is a fundamental right, and we are passionate about providing access to quality education for the poorest children in Togo. In 2019, we erected our first school in Togo, which allowed children to learn in a safe and comfortable environment. We believe that every child deserves a good education, and our goal is to help as many children as possible access education in Togo, ensuring that no child is left without an education.
