DRVR-TOGO is the Association Défi et Révolution de la Vie Rurale (Challenge and Revolution in Rural Life). DRVR-TOGO is a non-profit organization in Togo created in October 2005. DRVR-TOGO aims to contribute in a sustainable way to community development. DRVR-TOGO intervenes in six areas:
- social development
- health
- agriculture
- business and finance
- education
- environment
Despite efforts to guarantee the right to education for all, populations, especially rural populations and children of poor parents, are still affected by poor diet, unsafe water, inadequate health facilities, and lack of adequate sanitary infrastructure. Especially women and girls suffer from lack of education and access to banking and credit.
DRVR-TOGO meets with community leaders, members of women’s and agricultural group, and others in the development community to solve problems and offer technical advice.
DRVR-TOGO works for better access to education and health services, greater empowerment of women, respect for the environment, access to microcredit, and creation of micro-enterprises.
In 2019, DRVR-TOGO contacted Pedals for Progress. A collaboration and partnership document was signed between our two organizations.
