The Living Tree is a children’s charity based in Lomé, Togo, committed to supporting some of the most vulnerable members of society—children facing poverty, life on the streets, limited access to education, and inadequate healthcare.
Inspired by the strength and resilience symbolized by a living tree, our work is rooted in care and guided by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to grow, thrive, and flourish.
We provide access to education, basic healthcare, and holistic support services, creating safe pathways for children to rebuild their lives. A central part of our mission is the empowerment of girls, ensuring they have equal opportunities to learn, lead, and shape their futures.
At The Living Tree, we do more than meet immediate needs—we invest in long-term change. By working closely with local communities, we aim to break cycles of poverty and vulnerability, replacing them with stability, dignity, and hope.
Together, we are planting seeds for a stronger, brighter generation.
