Currently, I am doing volunteer work in Lomé, Togo. I am involved in an organization called Hälsa International. Hälsa supports and provides health care as well as education opportunities to street kids and underprivileged children by implementing sustainable programs. I strongly believe that children should have access to adequate schooling. Through education, they will have the opportunity to grow in better conditions and thus take charge of their future for the better. Likewise, I believe everyone deserves access to basic medical resources to guarantee a healthy life. These are reasons why I ask for your support – I am positive that every donation will greatly help us at Hälsa International to improve the conditions of street kids and underprivileged children in Lomé and will cause a positive change in their lives.

Hälsa International offers the opportunity to children and teenagers who typically don’t have the means to attend school, and do not have the necessary courses in subjects such as French, English, mathematics, literacy and geography. To achieve this goal, Hälsa International implements street classes in different areas of the community, where it is easily accessible to these children. Every year more than 250 street kids attend our street lessons and more than 1,000 are treated by our medical team.

We are now working on a project in which we plan to build a new street school classroom in the location where we currently do outdoor activities and lessons with more the 150 children. This new classroom will help us to improve our services and will aid in the creation a better teaching environment.

For this project we need to raise minimum 1,000 Euros to ensure that we can pay for the building materials and facilities.

Soon Hälsa plans to develop a MOOC that will grant these children easy access to official educational courses, allow them to attend official exams, and ultimately earn their degrees.

I understand and fully agree that it is extremely important that donors know how and why donations are being used. Since I have been working with Hälsa International in Lomé, I have seen the donations this organization receives, and I know for a fact that those donations go directly to helping individuals within different ongoing projects.

Thank you in advance for your support!
