Two of the ideas we've got going:
Compost:
Officially 65% of Togolese are farmers though since many are forced to farm for supplementary income, and subsistence foods, a Togolese agronomist has told me that 90 % of Togolese farm. This said, a major obstacle for the Togolese farmer is the declining fertility of the soil. No more than 20 percent of farmers can afford chemical fertilizer. At the same time goats, chickens, and cows roam the village, and their excrement is left in public and home areas where is can easily lead to worms and other maladies. Composting can contribute to solving both of these issues. By using the animal manure and other biodegradables usually left in public areas where kids play, the village can clean things up and decrease its dependence on chemical fertilizers.

Moringa trees:
The Moringa is a veritable pharmacy unto it self, from malnutrition to water purification it can contribute much to the community's well-being.
