SI/E Togo Health Centre


With help from Soroptimist International Europe clubs in Switzerland and Italy and the Village Chief, the Clubs of Togo embarked on fund raising to finance a health centre.
Inaugurated in 2006, it is composed of a maternity unit with rooms for primary health care for more than ten villages together with staff accommodation.

As soon as the project started the problem of water occurred. But, happily, drilling was financed and the water has provided great opportunities for: 

'Water for the widows' biological garden, clean water for the surrounding population, replacement of the manual pump by solar or electrical equipment and medical and surgical workshops at the health centre.

Soroptimists are business and professional women of all ages, cultures and ethnic groups. They are working moms and single women small business owners and corporate executives attorneys, teachers and physicians. The common thread that connects all Soroptimists is their desire to make a difference for women.At club level to provide support and friendship for members.
