There, nearly sixty households received food consisting of rice, tomato and oil. A gesture that was praised by the beneficiaries who testified to their recognition and gratitude to the donor.

« We don’t know how to thank you because you kept your promise by coming to our village to help us. We are grateful for that. Since this disease appeared in Togo, we are confined to the house because the authorities have taken measures including in particular washing us regularly hands and especially to stay at home. Our needs are numerous here in our village and the most worrying, this is the road. We have no road and you have to walk 9 km to get to the market. We also don’t have care unit. In case of illness, you have to find 1,500 Fcfa round trip to go to the health center. They we have made a motor pump that is no longer functional, we also have a crucial water problem » said Kassegne Denise, one of the beneficiaries.

The village chief of Flangadoua, Togbui Aholou Moglo IV, expressed his thanks to the donors for the choice focused on his village. « Great is our joy to welcome the delegation from Dzidzo and on behalf of the beneficiaries, I would like to warmly thank the donors because there are several villages in our canton but their choice focused on Flangadoua, » he said.

In turn the heads of the villages of Akato-Avoeme and Massohoin respectively Togbui Sexovon Kodjo and Togbui Kondo yaovi Ata III thanked donors and expressed complaints for even greater assistance in this difficult period of the covid pandemic 19.

« Dzidzo is a young association which started its activities with the advent of covid 19 and despite it being a great first for us, we did it brilliantly. We crossed the village of flagadoua, Akato-Avoeme- Lycee and Massohoin where we brought food to its populations. Those who have passed these kits are happy and seeing us this joy gives us even more courage. We are a young team but experienced in leading the various activities of the association », said the president of the association, Dr Aklikou Marcel.
