🌱 Why are we raising funds for Aménopé Farm?

Aménopé Permaculture Farm, created in 2020 in Agou-Nyogbo (Togo), is much more than a simple agricultural operation: it is a place of living, learning and regeneration.

Our mission is clear: bring degraded soils back to life, strengthen food security, preserve biodiversity and pass on permaculture knowledge to future generations.

Faced with Togo's challenges – land erosion, climate change, food dependence, lack of opportunities for rural youth – we offer an alternative:

A permaculture school integrated into the farm, to train farmers, entrepreneurs and local communities in sustainable, profitable methods adapted to the tropical climate.

Why is this project important to us? 💚

I am Stéphane Walger, French, certified in permaculture, fell in love with Togo during a first visit in 2018.

Seduced by the richness of its lands and the warmth of its inhabitants, I decided to devote my life there. After acquiring the land in 2020, I created, with Yaovi Galey: AMENOPÉ, an Ewe word which means “where man can live”. Since then, we have designed a forest garden, food crops, free-range livestock, raw earth buildings and solar installations.

But we want to go further: make Aménopé Farm a reference center in West Africa for agroecology and resilience.

The impact of your donations

Each contribution allows us to:

• Train young Togolese people in permaculture (knowledge that changes a life)

• Develop water infrastructure (drilling, drip irrigation)

• Improve the food autonomy of neighboring villages through livestock farming and compost

• Plant trees and create a model forest garden

• Install low-tech solar equipment for crop conservation.

Permaculture, as taught by Bill Mollison and later David Holmgren, is the art of designing human systems that imitate the intelligence of nature.
Each donation is a seed sown for a fairer, greener and more autonomous future.

By supporting Amenope, you become part of a global movement for the regeneration of land and the dignity of people.
