The N.O.W. program is part of the World Togolese Foundation’s continuous efforts to assist with the best of its abilities the Children of Togo in their pursuit of happiness. The WTGF strongly believes that they can achieve that with a good education and a strong health. This Program was designed to collect or procure used and new items (school materials, school uniforms and medical supplies) and redistribute them to the less fortunate. We can’t do it alone, so we need you to support us today, NOW not tomorrow.
Saving a Future
The gap between rural and urban illiteracy rates is widening, to the extent that in several countries, illiteracy in rural populations is two to three times higher than in the urban centers. Education in general and in the rural areas in particular is a crucial factor for a sustainable development. Add a comment

The divide between urban-rural knowledge and education and training is one of today’s main barriers in eradicating poverty and hunger. Four out of five of the at least 72 million out of school children (UNESCO 2009) and, as a consequence, of about 774 million illiterate youth and adults are rural people.
At WTGF we believe that education is the most effective way to empower the rural poor and that it is the key to developing capabilities, building confidence and increases the chances for individuals and communities to grow themselves out of poverty. Add a comment
