I started volunteering on the Team Togo missions from 2016 and this year will be my third time.
I absolutely love the experience of helping out the medical team and the education staff in making the mission effective.
The organisation and the team are amazing and you really feel like the mission is so productive. I'd highly recommend it for anyone interested in volunteering in a group.

Mission: It is our belief that through education, entrepreneurial support and access to health care the quality of life for many people can be improved dramatically. We feel that sustainable economic growth and overall well-being can be fostered by focusing on these three cornerstones. Assist Africa was formed with the aim of assisting people in developing countries through educational and business-related grants and programs, as well as promoting and delivering quality healthcare in under-served areas. Our foundation's goals have always been accomplished entirely through the efforts of volunteers. We think wholehearted volunteer work brings happiness and is truly more rewarding if done without a financial reward.
