Diaspora Development of Djarkpanga, Togo (DDDT) was founded in 2013. It was established to prevent and relieve poverty, and advance the educational outcomes of a wide range of citizens in the Djarkpanga region of Togo. The word ‘Diaspora’ means expatriate (or ex-pat) and the diaspora works with all expatriates now living around the world to prevent and relieve poverty in their home country. The diaspora provides training for potential teachers and improves school facilities, including school buildings and resources. They provide opportunities through sports and other activities for all people to engage and participate. Supporting both social and economic efforts, they aim to improve the lives of all Togolese citizens. The diaspora’s goal is to help the population of Djarkpanga leave poverty by providing them with the tools and resources to be able to eat three times a day, to be able to take care of themselves, improve the living conditions of orphans and widows, and to help the young continue in education to provide better job prospects to end the poverty cycle.
