We have documentary photos and videos of many of our activities in West Africa. OSV- Togo’s educational aspect of the program focuses on both adult and children.

The adult literacy programs will focus on women who were denied educational opportunities and those who dropped out of school as a result of teen pregnancies and poverty, to give them the chance to read and write and be positive contributors to their communities. Children’s program will focus on providing school supplies, computers, uniforms, shoes school bags snacks and food. School fees programs would also be established to support poor single parents and orphan students who cannot afford school fees.
