My Challenge:
We're walking across Togo for Compassion, without leaving Ireland.
Togo’s educational resources are limited. Many young people have access to few books and no internet. As a result, they can’t progress onto higher education and miss out on the stable income that a graduate job secures.
Compassion Togo is close to completing a youth resource centre in Togo’s capital Lomé. This will enable 500 young people to continue learning and pursue their dreams.
But it needs funding. That’s why we're taking on Compassion's Togo 100km Virtual Challenge.
Over the next three months, we will walk 100km.
Will you help us cross the finishing line?

Maej is Head of Partnerships at Compassion Ireland. Dave is very much involved in everything. We are passionate to speak up for and on behalf of the children, whether at conferences, Compassion Sundays in local churches, youth gatherings or in one to one engagements. This is what Jesus would do and this is what He's called us to do. We find joy in seeing church communities step out in faith, individuals, families and groups play a part in what God is already doing from Ireland and beyond.
This really matters to us personally because we're passionate about the work of Compassion in Togo, and we sponsor 2 children in Togo namely David and Yayra. Maej visited this beautiful island this year.
