Few days ago, Emmanuel Olivier (Market Development) was back in The Hague after a one-month trip around Togo and Benin. During this short period he could accomplish few projects and gather an incredible amount of information and trustworthy contacts in these countries. Especially in Togo, Emmanuel could visit two schools (public and private) in Lome and surroundings. As showed in the pictures, the kids in both schools received thousands of pens and MUSIC4KIDS CD’s from our foundation.

Emmanuel says:”This country is amazing, plenty of contradictions and poverty. But definitely a country that can easily progress, thanks to well educated teachers. Unfortunately, the infrastructure is often unsatisfactory, and sometimes kids, as the rest of the population, don’t have access to vital resources”.

Our activities involved the private school “Les Anges” in Be-kliklame area. This school has been founded and directed by Dougla Koudjo that invested his own funds to help the growth of culture and education of the children in this area. No subventions are given from the State. SIVA4KIDS’s Togolease project advisor Romuald Akitani (at right) is the trusted person for the private school “Les Anges”. We are very happy to work together with a passionate person like Romuald Akitani, who¬†has united¬†with SIVA4KIDS to help/change the life of children¬†in Togo.

A bit more in the countryside is the school close to Aveta. Our contact Emma Sokaty provided all the information regarding the current situation, the urgent needs and the possible improvements. In this village, basic infrastructures are missing and primary needs can’t be satisfied.

The photo reportage is explanatory, we have to say “thanks” one more time to Emmanuel: his passion drove him through these outstanding action. Siva4Kids wants to do more for the children in this country.
