📍 About the location
Location
Kpékpéta is a village of around 2 000 inhabitants. It is situated 30 kms from the town of Adeta, the main center for the Prefecture Kpélé – Adeta: the large town where a Post Office, a bank, a police station and medical – social center are to be found. Access to Kpékpéta is complicated by the fact that the road is in a very bad state of repair. This has not left the Togolais government indifferent leading, in the near future, to a programme of road work.Kpékpéta has a primary school, a dispensary and a little market which is open every Saturday. Major needs for food and other products are met by an expedition to Kati or to Adeta. The main activity in the area is agriculture. The village has no access to electricity: therefore any initiative leading to the installation of system of solar panels is to be encouraged.
