HI began working in Togo in 1997 in order to assist the country’s physical rehabilitation centres.
Since 1997 our activities have expanded to include: civil society support, road safety, mother and child health, mental health and inclusive education.
Our project with mothers and young babies in the maritime region has been improving neonatal outcomes since 2015. HI has been working with Lomé prisoners since 2014 to humanise conditions and improve social insertion. Newer initiatives include a project to ensure that children with disabilities can attend primary and secondary school and have access to professional training and a nation-wide project to improve support for people with mental health needs at a community level.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, HI has continued to help the world’s most vulnerable people. We have adapted our interventions in more than 45 countries.
