OFED International Information

Vision: A rural world, free from hunger in which the women of West Africa play a key contributing role socially, economically, and culturally to the future development and well-being of themselves, their families and communities. Mission: We strengthen women in Africa by creating an environment that supports and empowers them to improve the quality of life for themselves, their children and their community. Our efforts are currently focused on the Republic of Togo, working with government, established organizations and other key local influencers. Collectively, we provide the legal means, education and environmental support to better equip women to lead healthier lives and undertake income generating activities that serve the greater needs of their family and community within the agricultural and related industries. In order to support these women, the well-being of their children is paramount. Therefore, critical to our mission are efforts that include childhood development programs, education and child-care support that allow women to pursue self-sufficiency.
