600 KG CAN CHANGE WHAT LEARNING LOOKS LIKE.

In the schools targeted by our project in Yalla, there are currently no school libraries or reading spaces. There is no dedicated budget for books, and one book is often shared by several pupils.

Yet nearly 600 kg of books and computer equipment are ready to move from Switzerland to Togo.

The obstacle now? CHF 4,921 to get 590 kg to Lomé Airport.

And that price is not guaranteed until the airline booking is confirmed.

Your donation can help turn boxes into:

📚 2 school libraries
📖 900+ books
💻 computers for both schools
👧🏾👦🏾 1,200–1,400 pupils with regular access to books

The books already exist. The children shouldn't have to wait for the transport.

Help us move education.

🎒 FOR AFEDO, BACK TO SCHOOL STARTS LONG BEFORE THE SCHOOL BELL RINGS.

When our team met Afedo in Togo, he wasn't carrying a school bag.

He was carrying water.

Afedo lives with his mother and sibling. After losing their father, their mother became the family's sole parent and provider.

She does what she can to keep her children in school, but in a household where every expense matters, education comes with sacrifices.

Afedo helps too.

He fetches and sells water to contribute to the family's daily needs and help his mother meet school-related expenses.

And soon, like millions of children, he will be expected to return to the classroom.

This is why Back to School means something different when you work directly with families and communities.

We see the school bag.

But behind it, there may be a mother trying to find the next school fee.

A child balancing responsibilities with education.

A school trying to provide opportunities with limited resources.

And local partners doing everything possible to keep children learning.

At Lema Plan International, these realities do not disappear when the Back-to-School campaign ends.

Since 2018, we have supported 30+ schools and reached more than 3,000 direct beneficiaries and 7,000 indirect beneficiaries through our work.

And those years have taught us an important lesson:

A project can be completed. The need for education continues.

This is one of the challenges we face today.

Many people generously support a particular LPI project. When that project finishes, the funding often finishes with it.

But our work with schools, children, families and local partners continues.

That is why this Back-to-School season, we are asking for something different.

BECOME A REGULAR LPI SUPPORTER — CHF 50/MONTH.

We are not going to tell you that CHF 50 alone will transform Afedo's life or build a school.

But regular giving creates something essential: continuity.

100 regular supporters × CHF 50 = CHF 5,000/month.

500 regular supporters × CHF 50 = CHF 25,000/month.

Imagine what that level of predictable support could mean for our ability to plan ahead, strengthen school partnerships, prepare educational projects, respo

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Tanzania Team 🇹🇿

As we wrap up the Kisarawe Project, we want to take a moment to sincerely thank the incredible individuals who made this journey smooth, impactful, and truly memorable.

A special appreciation to Ayubu Bendera (Local Project Leader – Phase I & II), Hashimu Omary, and Sia Felix (Project Support Assistants) for your dedication, teamwork, and commitment throughout the implementation of this project. Your efforts helped bring this vision to life.

This project reminded us that humanitarian work is not only about service — it is also about learning, growth, and connection. Through this journey, we gained valuable lessons, built meaningful relationships, and had the opportunity to network with inspiring leaders working toward positive change in their communities.

Every project teaches us something new, and that is one of the most beautiful parts of humanitarian work.

Thank you for making the Kisarawe Project in Tanzania a meaningful experience. Until we meet again through another project — we remain grateful. 💙❤️
