An agriculture at the same time local and bio;a farm where the major part of the elements entering in the production are of local origin.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Fagad is building and upgrading a little more modern dormitory to house the volunteers in the farm Fuentes. The volunteers will have a mattress each and if possible a bed as well. The NGO FAGAD works to supply the farm with solar energy. Otherwise the volunteers will use chargeable lamps and oil lamps. Clean water would be provided for the drink. 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. Many vegetables, fruits and others will come from the farm freshly.
