Togo
The country is very underdeveloped economically. Its economy relies mainly on agriculture, which generates about 18% of the GDP and employs roughly 30% of the working population. Togo ranks among the countries with the lowest level of social development.
Overview:
- poverty is widespread, especially in rural areas, where about 58.8% of households live below the poverty line; in urban areas, the rate is about 26.5%
- key factors driving poverty include food insecurity (over 23% of children under five suffer from chronic malnutrition), limited access to health care, unemployment, and insufficient job opportunities, especially for young people

It is hard to imagine a better start for a new Good Factory! Pope Francis himself, through his alms-priest Archbishop. Krajewski, will finance a YEAR’S supply of basic medicines for the Saoude pharmacy. 5,000 EUR will allow us to purchase a great deal of painkillers, antibiotics, and antimalarials.
Pope Francis laid the foundation and our task is to continue to build upon that and do good. Let’s make sure we have not one type of antibiotic in the pharmacy, but three, not one drug for hypertension, but two or more! Let’s create an even bigger supply of the desperately needed paracetamol! Let’s help good create more good!
Share this message with others: we are building our next factory in Saoude! If we do well today, perhaps we’ll set up a new, comprehensive health center there? Let the poorest among us feel that they are not forgotten, that they matter to us, and that we will do EVERYTHING we can to pull them away from evil, misfortune and illness. Let them feel that they have new friends not only in the Vatican but also in Poland and anywhere, where the people of Good Factory are!
