Travelling to the heart of Togo, one will find many villages lacking clean water. One will encounter children who spend half of their day walking for miles to and from a river, only to come back with buckets of unfiltered water, contaminated with disease. One will watch the people of these villages become infested with said disease, as it is the only water they drink. One will also discover villages struggling with thirst for two-fourths of the year while the wet season departs and the dry season begins. According to Andrew Mitchell, International Development Secretary for the British Government, the current drought in Africa is the worst in over fifty years and the international must do more to solve this humanitarian crisis. I believe that this epidemic of drought, disease and thirst is an undue burden on the people of Togo who are in dire need of a wet solution. A solution that could utilize existing technology for the betterment of an entire nation of nearly eight million people. This solution, however, is not…

No Police, Beautiful land, good people, strange religious, and unique animals. Life sometimes can open doors into people's lives.

The trip to Togo was about 17 hours in total of flying and on the last leg I could only remember muttering to myself as I dealt with sleep deprived “This sucks.” Always trying to…

Nowadays, there is progress concerning the subject of gender issues, but it would be wrong to think that men and women are treat equally in Togo. Historically, men always have a higher financial, legal and political power over women. Men have more job opportunities than women do. At home, women are always fighting for their freedom because of the mistreatments that they are victim of. They have been some difficulties for women to get an education because they have always been considered as good…

My interest in international affairs stems from the disparity between my life in the United States and my life in Togo. I was born and half-raised in Togo. I moved to the United States in 2006 primarily to live with my father after the death of my mother. Instantly, I noticed the better quality of life that Americans enjoyed. The complete reality of life in the United States juxtaposes the preconceived utopian image of a land flowing with honey and milk that immigrants, including myself, have.…

They pass through the women's teams to make their businesses prosperous, to have the recognition of the general public, to occupy positions in football management structures (districts, leagues and federation). To make their actions more visible, they gather an association. This is the case of the Association of Women's Clubs of Togo presided by Leo Glokpor and WOFUT (Women Football United of Togo) presided over by Antoine Kokou Zougbor known as APOTO. But despite the lack of financial,…

Food security and nutrition is important in Togo so all residents have safe and nutritious foods to meet their dietary needs and prevent them from disease. Lack of food security leads to malnutrition, which “can result in negative physical outcomes such as inadequate growth, stunting, and wasting, as well as negative impacts on mental development”(Wendland, 2008).
