Created in 1957, the NGO Association Togolaise des Volontaires au Travail (ASTOVOT) is one of the first Togolese associations. Laic and non-profit-making, ASTOVOT has been supporting international solidarity initiatives for several decades, but also the self-promotion of rural communities through local development projects. Today, it remains a great reference in terms of international volunteering and civic service in Togo. Every year, the NGO ASTOVOT welcomes several dozen international volunteers from European countries (Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Spain, Luxembourg...) and also from Asia (Japan) thanks to its partnership with several organisations working in the field of international volunteering and civic service. The aim of the association is to :  Contribute to the animation of life through the participation of Togolese and foreign volunteers in the realization of works of general interest ;  To improve the living conditions of the local population by promoting their development and well-being by safeguarding the environment and the socio-cultural heritage;  To support socio-educational and sports initiatives in rural communities;  To promote the movement of people and goods through international and intercultural exchanges. Since its creation, the association has carried out numerous projects in its areas of intervention in the logic of a participatory approach with local communities. The projects carried out include: construction of classrooms, eco-sanitary latrines and libraries; renovation of school and sanitary buildings; awareness-raising workshops on several themes of education, citizenship, hygiene and health; training in youth entrepreneurship and agroecology, etc.
