community Projects
Madventurer have been
working in togo since 2001 and
have very close links in the
area. working directly with
local communities, Madventurer
undertake projects with a focus
on disadvantaged youth, in
under-resourced and over-
crowded primary schools.
Many of the villages we work
in have close family ties with
the Ghanaian villages over
the border.
Working with government primary schools,
Madventurer is having a big impact on improving
education facilities which wil benefit the area for
generations to come. Madventurer focuses on
building kindergartens, classroom blocks,
refurbishing derelict and unfinished buildings
and constructing pit latrines. Projects are all
identified by the communities themselves
and are selected on the basis of their most
urgent needs.
