DukeEngage Togo

Building on projects begun by DukeEngage-Togo students five summers ago, a small team of students, the program director and a graduate assistant spent eight weeks in two villages of northern Togo to address the pressing issue of youth migration. We've continued to develop projects that cater to youth need, by providing support for two cyber cafés built by Duke students, financing alternative sources of income for youth, evaluating and improving a local health insurance system, continuing a writer’s collective, and working on a range of more technical (engineering) initiatives.
