-Africa Project-

The country of Togo is located in the northwestern part of the continent of Africa, right on the Gulf of Guinea, in the Atlantic Ocean. The people of Togo speak mainly French, due to the fact that it was under French colonial rule until it’s independence in 1960. It is a small country, bordered on the west by Ghana, and on the east by Benin. To the north is the country of Burkino Faso. At it’s widest point, Togo is only about 100 miles across. Farming has traditionally been, and still is, one of the main occupations in this region of Africa.

I was fortunate enough to meet a young man named Komi Kplola a while ago, and this has led “Jim’s Projects” down a whole new and exciting path. With the help of Kplola and his family, we now hope to bring many benefits and improvements to the people who live in and around the city of Lome, the capital city of Togo, where Kplola’s family lives. With the advise and assistance of Kplola’s family, themselves farmers for generations, we will be bringing water pumps for irrigation, high-quality fertilizers to increase crop yields, new farming equipment, and improved means for transporting the harvest to market. And that is just to get us started! With the continued help from the local community, we hope to come up with many NEW “Project” ideas in the future, and to help improve the lives of many.

We are also now connected to a wonderful group called “Cooperation Togo”, and my friend with this group is Tonton. He is a very good man who is trying daily to improve the lives of all the children that he can reach out to. They are actively trying to promote the health and welfare of all the people of Togo. You can see their website by going to http://www.cooperationtogo.net/jeudevtogo.You can also donate directly to them through this site, if you desire to do so. Every dollar will go to help deserving young people in and around the City of Lome.
