Current projects

Purchase of the land

Purchase of a plot of land with an area of 2 hectares near the village of Okafou-Logbo, located about ten km from the city of Atakpamé, the regional capital of the Valley Region, considered the agricultural heart of Togo. The mild climate and rich soil make this region particularly suitable for the creation of tree nurseries.

Water drilling

The persistence of an unprecedented drought that has dried up the scarce waterways in this area of Togo makes forestry an illusion without regular and safe access to water. That is why our priority was to carry out a drilling that found groundwater at a depth of 137 m. The exploitation will soon allow the creation of nurseries intended for reforestation.
