Background: Assagba Kope Primary School is a rural school located in the LACS prefecture of Togo. The school was created in 2008. The government wasn’t able to provide any facilities to start with so the community built a shed for the students to learn from. The lack of proper infrastructure discouraged parents from sending their children to school and there was an estimated 150 additional children not attending school. Now that the proper classrooms are complete, we hope to see more children attending school and improved learning outcomes for these students.
