EPP BOGNARÌ - Public Primary School in Bognarì, Togo
Now that we have completed construction of our Primary School in the West African country of Togo. The village of Bognarì is in the northern region of the country and their primary school sustained serious damage due to weather and lack of funds to repair or rebuild. This project has consisted of the building of a concrete block school with a Grades 1-6 with Office and Library Building, as well as a two building Kindergarten complex including playground equipment. Below are photos of their original facilities, followed by the current facility.
The country of Togo:
- one of the 10 poorest countries in the world
- annual income is about $400 USD per capita
- a teacher earns about $2,500 USD per year
The Village of Bogarè
- one of the poorest villages in Togo
- no power within 6 miles of the village
- children walk 5km or more to attend school daily
- most of the population lives further than a 55 minute walk to clean water access
