💼 What the programme involves

Theme : Construction of a community center for development and for listening This project targets the construction of a building for the administration of projects and the development of the region around. This building will allow meetings to be held and development education to be organized for the element of the national patrimony. A building will also allow the organization of tourism on the site of FIATOE which is full of traces of cultural material which led to the idea of classing it as an element of the national patrimony. Work to be done: - Clean up the site ( eliminate plants, root up trees…); - Make cinder blocks; - Build a wall ( masonry ): - search for water; - search for sand; -search for wood and planks.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be housed in a house provided by the villagers. A local house and not modern. No electricity. The NGO Fagad provides mattresses to all volunteers. Some villagers use solar plates to recharge their devices. The showers and toilets are traditional. They have clean water. 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
