Reflections from GPiH trip to Togo West Africa
Stories of Hope
While we closely measure data related to our impact, the stories of transformation
are what stir and encourage our hearts.
The primary recipient of impact is a local community member; however, the work we enable touches many more stakeholders in a feed forward manner, including local staff members, providers, patients, and you, our Champion.
Local Staff & Partners
GPiH’s heart for our nation and peoples inspires. Their commitment to ethics, fair dealing and respect for our independence and ultimate accountability allows our collaboration to achieve great purposes across Togo. Furthermore, their focus on the more distressed areas of our nation aligns with our President’s commitment to the underserved peoples in the North of Togo. - Koffi Esaw (President ONG Compassion Togo, Former Minister of Justice Togo, Former Togolese ambassador to the African Union)
Patients
"I had suffered for years with awful skin problems that not only caused great irritation and discomfort, but also brought me shame in the community. Thanks to the special creams at the health center my skin has fully cleared up and I am free from the irritation, discomfort, and shame." - Togolese Patient
"My child has epilepsy and nothing has ever worked. Multiple times a day he drops to the ground and shakes violently. Everyone looks at us with fear and pity for what they believe to be the evil spirit that he has. But the health center gave us daily medication that has stopped the seizures and we can now live in peace and joy."
- Malian Patient
Champions
"Being able to speak and build relationships with the people being impacted was truly a great experience. It has brought great joy to me and a bigger understanding and appreciation for life."
- Tim Vogel
"I have been a part of something beyond amazing. Being at the well dedication, to being at the orphanage, to the friendships that have been created with our group. This is something that I never thought would be possible. So much love and fulfillment of need." - Scott Karnes
