Become part of Kossivi's HOPE
Join us as we build the project and help turn hope into a real future.
How you can help
Donate
Every donation moves the construction of the children's development campus in Agou-Akplolo one step further. Whether one-time or recurring: you decide how you would like to help.
Go to the donation pageBecome a sponsoring member
As a sponsoring member you support the project long-term, beyond a single donation. Write to us by email if you would like to join the association, and we'll get back to you with the next steps.
What this meansVolunteer with us
Whether it's translations, help with events, or professional expertise from your job: we welcome people who want to contribute their time and skills. Just get in touch with us by email.
What this meansBecome a partner
Companies, schools, clubs, foundations and congregations can help carry the campus project: through donations, contributions in kind, a joint campaign or a long-term project partnership. The partnerships page sets out what suits which kind of organisation.

Membership is more than a standing donation. It makes you part of the association, with a vote at the general meeting. What applies here is set out in the statutes, not left to our discretion.
Any natural or legal person can become a member, including a company or a parish. The application is made in writing and the board decides on admission. If an application is rejected, the rejection must be justified, and the person concerned can appeal to the general meeting, which then decides finally.
There is no compulsory membership fee. The statutes explicitly provide for no fixed contributions; voluntary contributions and donations are possible. So you decide yourself whether and how much you give regularly.
The general meeting is held at least once a year. Invitations go out at least two weeks in advance in text form, with an agenda. It elects the board and formally discharges it, decides on changes to the statutes and on dissolving the association. Minutes are kept of every meeting.
You can leave at any time by written notice to the board. No minimum term, no notice period.
If you would like to become a member, send us an email and we will send you the next steps.
Where we need help
"Volunteering" often sounds like a commitment you only take on once you have plenty of time. With us it is more concrete and smaller. A few examples so you can judge whether something fits:
Translation. This site exists in German, English and French, and Togo is francophone. Every new article and report has to exist in three languages. Anyone who writes confident French helps us immediately.
Preparing text and images. Photos and notes from a trip do not turn into a publishable article by themselves.
Administration and bookkeeping. A young association has a lot of paperwork and little routine. Anyone who knows this professionally saves us weeks.
Construction expertise. Planning, tendering, site supervision: people with building experience, ideally with experience in West Africa, are especially valuable for this project.
Contacts. To parishes, schools, clubs, foundations or local newsrooms. An introduction to the right people is often worth more than a donation.
You do not have to commit to a fixed workload. Just write and tell us what you can do and how much time is realistic, and we will get back to you.
Your own fundraiser
Whether for a birthday, a sponsored run, or your own campaign: you can raise funds for Kossivi's HOPE and contribute directly to building the campus. Write to us by email, we're happy to support you.
