    Education for Immigrants

    As one of the poorest countries in Africa, Togo reserves education as a privilege. At LiftTogo (former Association of Togolese Students in America), we firmly believe it is our duty to help our brothers and sisters in Togo and across the U.S. realize a better future through education, often a difficult path to traverse. The education system in the U.S. is fraught with obstacles that new immigrants tend to find incredibly daunting. Sadly, many have given up on their dreams of an education because they could not afford it. LiftTogo provides advisement on education for immigrants from Togo and other parts of Africa. We offer resources for students to help them find minority scholarships and scholarships for immigrants.

    Empowering Polougou through Education

    Polougou is situated at approximately 30 km from Dapaong, the capital city of the Savanes region in the northern Togo. There is no health center, no market, and most importantly no clean water. The only way to access Polougou is by motorcycle ride of 45 mins. Because the population of Pologou is deprived of clean drinking water, it suffers from high malnutrition. Every morning, women and children need to travel about 21 miles away carrying buckets to fetch water to drink, cook, and shower. Not only they have to walk that far, but they also have to climb mountains with full water buckets on their heads. As result, children are usually late or absent to school.

    Water and Community Garden for Polougou

    LiftTogo’s Water-well and Community Garden Project in Polougou aims to bring clean water to the inhabitants of Polougou in order to reduce water related diseases and malnutrition in this remote village in Northern Togo, West Africa. Additionally, by helping the community of Polougou to start a garden, LiftTogo aspires to set forth a self-sustaining community. Currently, for the 2,000 inhabitants of Polougou, the closest access to safe drinking water is at 21 miles walking distance and adequate food supply is lacking due dire geographical conditions and unfavorable farming practices. Help us achieve that goal by donating today.
