News Donation of school bags to disadvantaged children
Every year URBIS FOUNDATION TOGO (UFT) donates school bags to excellent students in some public primary schools (EPP) in Togo. For the 2019-2020 school year, UFT identified disadvantaged children to benefit from the school bags.
More than 300 children from Lomé and Sokodé received a school bag. These children who used to go to school with their documents in their hands will now use a school bag to transport their learning materials to school. The joy was clearly visible on each child face. All of them expressed their sincere thanks to UFT. A Special thanks to Mrs. Inge EPP, Co-founder of URBIS FOUNDATION Germany (UFA) who collected the school bags in elementary schools around Munich, Germany.
