Following previous projects realized in Togo, the association C.I.E.LO has decided to improve the schooling conditions for the 107 pupils of the rural secondary school in AMEGNONA-KONDJI village (Togo) along with a local development organization.

Before the project, the secondary school was compounded of narrow straw hut which did not bring the sufficient conditions of safety (inflammable at dry season, leaks at rainy season, damaged blackboards, unsufficient desks).

The project consists into:

Building 2 real classrooms each one fully equipped with a blackboard a teacher’s desk and chair and desks for 40 pupils.

Furnishing a game trunk with about 30 educational games
Furnishing sport equipment (balls, rackets, nets, goals, frisbee…) to be used around the school by the sport teacher.
Giving 20 musical instruments to the school

All the construction work (classes, desks…) is done by local company in order to support the local economy.
