Let’s go! Though for now it’s more like “Let’s run!”… Delayed flight and a forced half-kilometer sprint with a backpack and suitcase. What’s the reward? Gate K3 is open. We’ll be in Lomé by evening. And we really want to take you with us!

The plan is to visit our pharmacy’s beneficiaries in Saoudé – a very poor part of northern Togo. We’ll try to connect with you live and introduce you to everyone, show where your money goes, what has already been achieved, and what urgently needs our attention.

What’s planned for later? Dakar and a long journey through the desert to our nutrition center in Mauritania. We’ll do everything to make you feel like you’re there with us. The next day, we continue to Nouakchott, then to Atar, to see if we can help the local community. We know how to fight hunger and manage agricultural projects in tough, desert conditions. Maybe we can be of use? Maybe we’ll come up with something together with you?

Lots of important decisions to make and meetings you can’t miss. If you want, we’ll notify you about every live! To do so in advance, we encourage you to sign up for our Newsletter! Facebook and Instagram can be fickle, sometimes they notify about lives, sometimes they don’t, but we won’t let you down. ?

Israel has entered Lebanon. Our beneficiaries and thousands of residents in southern Lebanon are no longer safe.

Urgent Help for Lebanon

“This is not our war,” the people of Lebanon tell us in despair. “We have become hostages. We are completely powerless.” When people are being hurt, we cannot wait. We must act immediately!
