Future Champions Foundation was started with the simple goal of offering opportunities for children through academics and athletics. We firmly believe that every child should have the opportunity to better their own life and positively impact the lives of those they encounter.
Togo Primary School Project
This project started as the construction of a Primary School in the village of Bognarì in the Northern Region of Togo, West Africa. The previous school was built of mud and thatch and sustained serious damage due to weather related erosion. Because of this damage, a new facility was desperately needed. This project has consisted of building a permanent concrete block school with classrooms for grades 1-6, an office, library, two kindergarten classrooms and playground equipment.
Construction of EPP Bognarì was completed in the fall of 2020 and the doors opened to students in October of that year. Future Champions Foundation is now working on sustainability initiatives including building a water well among the priorities in capital improvements. Day to day operations at the 535 student, public primary school cost approximately $87,000 per year including:
The country of Togo:
- one of the 10 poorest countries in the world
- annual income is nearly $400 USD per capita
- a teacher earns $2,500 USD per year
The Village of Bognarì:
- one of the poorest villages in Togo
- no power within 6 miles
- walk to school can be 5km or more
- access to clean water is more than 65 minute
walk for most villagers
