How to help

Togo is a country heavily impacted by poverty and precarious care of health. Around 50 percent of its 7 million population is estimated by the World Bank to be living in extreme poverty. More than 260,000 orphans live in Togo, according to UNICEF statistics. Most of the time, family members or voluntary host families care for these children. The poor quality of care provided to these orphans (no financial assistance to the people who foster them) exposes them to poor living conditions.

Also, statistics estimate that one out of every eight Togolese children is sent away from his home and family, sometimes even abroad to work. There is no figure that gives the proportion of fatherless or motherless children among them. This is obviously an additional risk factor. That is why the objectives and missions of Canaan Village are crucial ones.

There are many possibilities to help us and to donate.
