Live & Learn in Togo: Women, Beekeeping & Regeneration
Stichting Ecosystem Restoration Foundation
Association de développement à but non lucratif
Kpalime, Togo
Leírás
This volunteer project supports rural communities between Agomé Yo and Danyi Apéyemé through women’s empowerment, cultural exchange, sustainable local development. Volunteers work with women’s groups on regenerative agriculture, beekeeping, and small-scale entrepreneurship skills to strengthen economic resilience. The project also promotes community well-being through public health & hygiene (WASH) activities with visits to schools and community hubs. Cultural immersion is central: volunteers take part in daily village life, community events, traditional ceremonies, meetings with local stakeholders. Volunteers will experience life in two villages (Danyi and Agomé) and contribute to activities in both locations, making this a truly unique experience. Working hours are generally 8:00–11:00 and 15:30–18:30,with flexibility to adapt to community needs. The experience offers meaningful engagement in gender equality and local development while providing deep exposure to Togolese culture.
