Education - nursery extension
During our visit to Klologo in January 2020, we discovered the poor condition of the kindergarten there. With the help of a generous donation, we can now renovate the kindergarten and build a covered playground (protection from the sun!). Purchase playground equipment. 12 November - a Kekeli festival day in Klologo "We asked for a swing, maybe a slide - and we got this beautiful playground!" said the head of the kindergarten in Klologo at the inauguration ceremony of the kindergarten annex building, which we built with the help of a member's donation. The building, painted blue, offers a dormitory with cots for the little ones, as well as a playground covered to protect them from the sun, with swings, two slides, a sandbox with toys, and a blackboard for painting. It was indeed a ceremonial inauguration: the honourable village chairman and the dignitaries came in their ceremonial robes, the representative of the Minister of Culture at district level gave a speech in which he highly praised the efforts of our association for children and youth: children need opportunities to play in order to develop, it is one of the basic rights of children, and Kekeli makes this possible. The chairperson of the Hanns-Seidel-Foundation in Togo also praised, recognised and thanked our commitment. The inauguration of the kindergarten, originally planned for the beginning of the school year in early September, had to be postponed due to Corona; the holidays were extended until November. So 12 November was a very special day for the people of Klologo. Not only was the kindergarten inaugurated, but the 40 portable hand-washing stations donated by us and generously subsidised by "Pharmacists Help" were also handed over and will be installed at the secondary school. The six apprentices were also presented to the public, for whom we at Kekeli pay the entire training costs. One of the girls received a sewing machine, as you can see in the photos; two of the boys ride bicycles donated by us to the training centre. Here, as elsewhere, we again followed our principle of spending money locally and strengthening the local economy. It was a Kekeli celebration day in Klologo, the village where our efforts are directed - and it was nice to hear from several sides how much our work is appreciated there. This motivates us to continue! Click here for the pictures and video

New Kekeli Project:
Training as an opportunity
Training
young
people,
giving
them
a
perspective
-
that
is
Kekeli
Togo's
new
project.
In
this
way,
we
help
to
reduce
poverty
by
giving
young,
motivated
people
the
realistic
opportunity
to
earn
a
living
and
thus
also
contribute
to
the
regional
economy.
100
000
F
CFA,
about
150
EUR,
is
the
cost of the three-year handicraft training in Klologo.
Village
leaders
and
the
village
development
committee
have
selected
three
needy
young
people
whose
parents
cannot
afford
the
training.
Two
young
women,
aged
17
and
21,
are
now
being
trained
as
hairdressers
thanks
to
our
donations,
and
one
young
man
(22)
as
a
welder.
A
fourth
training
is
already
paid
for
by
donations;
a
young
person
who
wants
to
learn
a
trade
used
in
the
village
and
is
eligible
for
the
donation
is
currently
being
sought
-
for
reasons
of
parity,
we
always
want
to
support
the same number of women as men.
The welding apprenticeship can begin!
Michel,
the
president
of
our
association,
recently
received
this
message
with
a
photo:
Théo,
the
future
welder
for
whom
we
pay
the
training,
needs
a
bicycle
to
get
to
the
training,
30
kilometres
a
day
easily!
The
bicycle,
also
acquired
from
Kekeli
funds,
was
now
presented
to
him
personally
by
the
honourable
village
council.

Kodjovi
Gati,
21,
will
soon
start
his
three-year
carpentry
apprenticeship,
which
will
end
with
a
skilled
worker's
certificate.
A
member
of
the
Kekeli
Togo
e.V.
association
has
donated
the
costs
for
the
training
and
a
bicycle
for him to ride from Klologo to the training site.
To
motivate
him
and,
above
all,
to
teach
him
how
to
use
the
tools,
the
donor
has
also
given
him
the
toolbox
shown
here;
it
is
partly
equipped
with new tools, all of which are, of course, operated manually. 02.11.2020

Rosaline
Afi
Amedome,
an
18-year-old
from
Klologo,
is
going
to
a
top-class
state
institute
to
train
as
a
medical
assistant.
Kekeli
Togo
e.V.
is
covering
the
costs
of
the
three-year diploma course.
"We
see
this
as
an
investment
in
our
girls'
project,"
says
Michel
Frenzel-Assih,
chairman
of
the
association.
With
the
planned
girls'
project
-
scheduled
to
start
this
spring
-
Kekeli
Togo
wants
to
counteract
the
high
number
of
early
pregnancies
in
the
global
South;
many
teenage
girls
leave
school
prematurely
because
they
are
pregnant.
The
path
to
a
professional
life
-
and
thus
out
of
the
poverty
trap
-
is
thus
blocked
for
them.
Kekeli
Togo
wants
to
provide
a
girls'
meeting
place
for
the
approximately
250
middle
and
high
school
girls
per
school
year,
where
they
can
receive
counseling,
training
and
information.
The
village
nurse
and
midwife
will
look
after
the
girls;
Rosaline
Afi
will
also
be
a
contact
person
during
her
studies,
but
especially
afterwards."We
bank
on
information
and
education,
but
also
on
strengthening
the
girls'
self-confidence,
and
ultimately
also
on
contraception,"
says
Frenzel-Assih.
Kekeli
Togo
is
currently
looking
for
donors
for
the
"Girls
Project";
the
total
cost
for
five
years
is
EUR
15,000.
(We
have
already
introduced
the
local
committee
for
the Girls Project, which runs the girls' meeting place).
Rosaline
has
seven
sisters
and
one
brother;
she
lives
in
Klologo.
The
institute
she
now
attends
offers
diploma
and
master's
courses
in
business
administration
and
management.
It
is
one
of
the
best
public
universities in Togo.
