After the rapid realization and activation of the two Afagna Gbleta and Sandale Kope wells by the members of APMED, the Togolese organization that we decided to finance, we were offered a project of a very different size and cost. It was about creating a high school for 150 students in the Afagnan Gbleta area. About 300 students, male and female, attended the high school in this area but it was a shack, among other things without a toilet, where we could only store agricultural tools. It makes sense to have this kind of school in Togo, because it is …

The ABA also has agreements with social services and therefore enjoys local contributions, even though less than the CET. About a hundred students are attending. …
