“ When we had no electricity , life was difficult . We could see the electric line nearby but could not access it because we could not afford a transformer .
Here , on the farm , I used to use a pulley , but now I use electricity for pumping . I can pump , I can grow whatever I want , I can irrigate when I want , and I can do it alone .”
“ The project allowed me to participate in a training . I was given 3 sheep and shown how to take care of them . I applied what I learned and now I have many more sheep .
With my money I was able to contribute to pay for my children ’ s schooling , and also to contribute to the needs of my family .”
“ The main objective of this project is to provide a viable and sustainable integrated infrastructure to ensure poverty reduction in the region .
This is an alternative road that takes you from Togo to Tema and then to Côte d ’ Ivoire .”
