🏢 About the local organisation
Our partners in this project are the local sections of Kplélé, the section of the University of Lomé and the village development committees
💼 What the programme involves
Project initiated by the University section of FAGAD. It is targeted on exchanges between the students of Lomé University on themes linked to the development of their community and to educate more than 40 of them in the conception and writing up of the methods of management of a project of community development.
Work to be done :
03 days of Discussion and Exchanges with the students of Lomé University on climate change and the social problems of their community.Education of these students at Adeta :
In the elaboration of a community project ( a lot of young persons have ideas, but do not know how to formalize them, and therefore, teach them to write up a project );
In the management of a project ( how to pilot a project leading to its effective installation and ensuring it survives );
In social communication ( it is necessary to learn to associate the communities by way of the different channels of communication ).
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be housed in the FAGAD logde. Each volunteer will have a bed with mattress. Beds often stacked. There is running water and electricity. Wifi is available if volunteers contribute to the purchase of credit (18 euros for the month).
The food is always international. We have Togolese dishes, African and European dishes. Everyone is invited to participate in housework and meal preparation. Volunteers are often helped by the local population. Our meals are always appreciated by volunteers
