Trip Description
Togo is known for its friendly people and beautiful countryside. This West African country sits just north of the equator on the Gulf of Guinea. It is geographically long and thin and approximately the size of the state of West Virginia. Togo is a tropical, sub-Saharan nation, and its economy depends mostly on agriculture, including corn, cassava, coffee, cocoa, peanuts, and cotton. The official language is French, but there are many languages spoken among the 40 different ethnic groups that call Togo home.
Our clinic will be in the capital city of Lomé, which sits on the border with Ghana. Lomé was once called the Paris of Africa, and while it may be a shadow of its former self, it still retains a charm and nonchalance. Its unexpected gems include colorful markets like the Grand Marché, palm-fringed boulevards, and golden beaches.
Between the 16th and 18th centuries, the region that is now Togo served as a slave trading outpost. In 1884, during the height of European colonization, Germany established a protectorate called Togoland. After World War I, it was transferred to France, from which Togo gained independence in 1960. In 1967, Gnassingbé Eyadéma led a successful military coup d'état and became president of an anti-communist, single-party state. Eyadéma was the longest-serving leader in modern African history, having been president for 38 years. At his death in 2005, his son Faure Gnassingbé was elected president and has continued in the position ever since.
Religious freedom is protected in Togo. Nearly half of the population claims Christianity as their religion, though many continue with indigenous religious practices. While primary education is legally mandated for 6 years, access and quality vary, especially in rural areas.
