🏢 About the local organisation
ASTOVOT
(Association Togolaise des Volontaires au Travail)
ASTOVOT, in order to be increasingly close to the deprived and disadvantaged population and given the social and economic situation in the daily life of the population, decided to provide a center for this young population which could have a better future if offered a good living.
This camp site reinforces the actions already implemented in the construction of this center started last summer (July 2015).
Objective
The aim of this project is to offer an environment that can encourage the blossoming of troubled young children.
💼 What the programme involves
Tasks to accomplish:
Together with the local mason, the volunteers will render the building's walls, prepare the plaster that will be used to render, cut the wood for the carpentry, put in place the windows, etc.
Another group of volunteers will create a green area for the centre, prepare the soil (spreading the manure, wateringÂ…) and plant the plants, turf and flowers.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation: in the town. The accommodation will be close to the workcamp and will include a common room equipped with electricity. The preparation of the meals will be everybody's task, as the volunteers will be sharing it.
