📍 About the location
Project 'Volunteering in the head office' is located in the compound of the NGO 'Campagne Des Hommes' at Kpalimé. Kpalime is the fourth city of Togo with a population about 100.000 inhabitants. It is located in north-west of Lome the capital city about 120 km. It is located in the outskirts of plateaux region and surrounded in the south with Kpadape hills, in the east with mount Agou (986 m) and in the north west with mount kloto.
Kpalime is one of the most beautiful cities of Togo with a nice landscape offered by Atakora range of mountains, waterfalls and mount Agou the highest point in Togo.
The city gets reputation from its green cultural setting with cool climate and its many craftsmen and artists who work there.
The temperature varies between 19°C and 32°C. Besides those natural advantages, poverty is not overlooked. It is a place where cash-crops such as coffee, cocoa are produced, but because of the fall of the world costs, the agricultural sector is degrading and many famers turn to craftsmen and traders. Kpalime City also keeps some architectural vestiges of German colonial period.
