Gosia Tomaszewska has just returned from Togo with loads of news and greetings from our charges. The smiles in the photos speak for themselves. For years you have been giving these people the chance to think about tomorrow with a smile on their faces. In Togo, we heal by providing help to those who could never afford it themselves.

In the first photo, you can see Florence looking after the pharmacy. She is the extension of your hands on site. Every year, she dispenses medicines to nearly 4,000 patients, for whom a trip to the city and the purchase of prescribed medicines is financially as out of reach as a flight into space for us!

Marie Claire, whom we have supported for years, can be seen smiling at you in the next photo. Thanks to several trips to neighbouring Burkina Faso that were funded by you and, above all, thanks to the fact that Gosia Tomaszewska, who met little Marie Claire and immediately took her under her wing, is on the spot, the girl now has straight legs. The little star has had two knee operations. She has swapped her wooden prostheses for colourful dresses in which she dances and happily goes to school.

The family project and the pharmacy in Saoudé are very meek projects. Nothing spectacular. Simply providing company to people who are unwell. Thank you for doing this with us.

Urgent help for seniors

Let’s save Laudy and Jean from homelessness

Their entire life savings have been wiped out by the economic crisis. They haven’t been able to pay rent for nine months. If the landlord loses patience, they’ll end up on the street - with nowhere to turn. We don’t want them counting down the days until eviction!
