Kuruluş

These projects allow around 200 national volunteers to interact with international volunteers and create meaningful intercultural exchanges throughout the year. ASTOVOT is a member of: Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service (CCIVS – UNESCO) Network of Africa Voluntary Organisations (NAVO) It partners with volunteer organizations in Europe, Asia, the USA, Canada, and Africa. Its projects mainly focus on: Community development Education and citizenship Health and social action Environmental protection Intercultural learning Construction and renovation of community infrastructure
İş Tanımı
Every summer, ASTOVOT organizes an educational volunteer program for children in rural areas, notably in the village of Yéviépé, where the association has built a community library. For three weeks, volunteers support children in fun and educational activities that combine learning with play. Mornings are spent at the school, with hands-on workshops in subjects such as French, mathematics, and English. These are not formal lessons but interactive activities adapted to the children’s level. Afternoons take place at the library, where children participate in creative and cultural workshops: reading, theater, games, coloring, sports, and dance. This program allows volunteers to contribute to non-formal education, stimulate children’s creativity, and support their personal development, while sharing cultural exchange and joyful moments.

ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation is usually basic and depends on the project location. Volunteers stay in groups of 3–4 per room, with room-sharing arrangements decided collectively. Some sites have dry toilets and showers without running water. Mats are provided, and volunteers may bring sleeping bags if possible. Drinking water is available on site, but electricity and internet access may be limited.
FOODS
During the camp, volunteers are responsible for preparing their own meals. An internal schedule organizes volunteers into groups that take turns handling household tasks, including cooking, cleaning, and meal preparation. Ingredients may be local, imported, or organic, and special dietary needs are taken into account whenever possible. Volunteers also enjoy a variety of tropical fruits such as bananas, oranges, pineapples, mangoes, avocados, and papayas, which are readily available during the camp.

Apart from the main camp activities, several recreational and cultural activities are organized, such as discovery walks, hiking, festive outings, and cultural exchanges. These activities allow volunteers to interact with local communities and to explore Togolese culture. During weekends, group excursions are arranged by volunteers and camp coordinators to visit local tourist sites in the project area. Please note that costs related to excursions and outings are not included in the participation fee.
