Theme: Construction of a community center for development and for listening
This project targets the construction of a building for the administration of projects and the development of the region around. This building will allow meetings to be held and development education to be organized for the element of the national patrimony. A building will also allow the organization of tourism on the site of FIATOE which is full of traces of cultural material which led to the idea of classing it as an element of the national patrimony.

Work to be done
-Clean up the site (eliminate plants, root up trees…);
-Make cinder blocks;
-Build a wall ( masonry ):
- Search for water;
- Search for sand;
-search for wood and planks.
-protection and promotion of the community forest

Accomodation and food

Work

The Christmas for all project is a social and solidarity action project that the NGO ASTOVOT is implementing in the last two weeks of December for the benefit of the children of the Zomayi district and its surroundings. The observation is that there is no framework for entertainment and development in the neighborhood for children and adolescents outside the library ASTOVOT. This is the reason why our association has initiated this project which will allow the children to combine business with pleasure through several activities. The aim is to organise Christmas festivities for more than ten
(10) days inside and outside the library. It should be noted that the majority of parents in this suburb of the city of Kpalimé do not often have the means to offer gifts, sweets and to make their children experience these festive and joyful moments that the Christmas holiday represents.

General objective
To contribute to the development of the children of the Zomayi district and its surroundings during the Christmas holidays.
Specific objectives
- To collect donations and gifts for the children;
- To offer a framework of relaxation and distraction to the children;
- To bring out their hidden talents;
- To offer gifts and sweets to each beneficiary child;
- Organise a friendly exchange and meal with the beneficiary children and their parents;
- Organise cultural activities for the children (music, dances, football gala, games and film projections);
ACTIVITIES
- Dissemination of the programme and visits to the children's families
- Development of the site for the installation of the Christmas village
- Construction of the Christmas hut with straws, stands and Christmas tree
- Purchase of gifts and shopping for the needs of the convivial meal
- Organisation of cultural, recreational and sporting activities
- Screening of films for children and teenagers
- Distribution of gifts and sweets

- Evaluation

Accomodation and food

ACCOMODATION
Housing conditions are generally rudimentary, simple and specific to the location of the project. On site, volunteers are accommodated in groups of three or four people per room. The distribution per room depends on the collective organization of the volunteers themselves. Depending on the location, volunteers can use dry toilets and showers without tap water. The association available to volunteers some plastic or foam mats. Volunteers can bring sleeping bags with them if possible. There is access to drinking water on the site. However, access to electricity and the internet may be limited. This is due respectively to the blackouts and the difficulties of accessing the Internet.
FOOD
During the entire period of the workcamp, it is the volunteers themselves who prepare their own meals. An internal organization will make it possible to create groups which will alternate to take care of the different household tasks including cooking. Food products used for cooking are both imported and local, and sometimes organic. The diet of each volunteer will be taken into account in the preparation of meals. Volunteers will have access to tropical fruits such as bananas, oranges, pineapples, mangoes, avocados, papayas, etc.

Location and leisure

LOCATION
Situated 120 km north of Lomé, the commune of Kpalimé is the ideal place for nature lovers and hikers who wish to discover beautiful mountainous landscapes and tropical flora. Numerous natural waterfalls will allow you to refresh yourself at the water's edge. Kpalimé is also home to the most important craft center of the country where a very large number of artists and craftsmen have settled.
In addition, to the main activities of the site, several other activities are organized such as discovery walks, hikes, parties or cultural meetings. These activities allow volunteers to get in touch with local populations but also to discover Togolese culture. During the weekends, collective excursions are organized by the volunteers and their leaders to discover the tourist sites of the region where the workcamp is taking place. It should be noted that expenses related to excursions and outings of volunteers are not included in the participation fees.

A village to produce a good alimantation.
It should be noted that the community forest of AGOU NYOGBO SUD had benefited from funding from the European Union for its creation and with income-generating activities (poultry farming, small ruminants and bees; processing machines; water retention for off-season gardening).
