Corporate Social Responsibility
Share the joy for twice the happiness
Jansen AG supports social projects on a regular basis. In doing this, we want to share our joy that we live in a privileged and prosperous country with people who do not have it as good as we do. We have therefore been supporting Suisse-Togo, a non-profit organisation in West Africa dedicated to giving young people access to various forms of academic and vocational education, for more than ten years now. The collaboration with Suisse-Togo is particularly important to us, as the seasoned team has been working with a great deal of personal dedication locally to ensure the sustainable improvement of living standards.
New classroom for upper school in northern Togo
Construction work on the first classroom for the secondary school in Sagbièbou began in May 2024. This was completed in mid-August and the classroom went into operation in mid-September. This private school opened in 2018.
The supporting association Suisse-Togo was founded in 2004 and can therefore look back on 20 years of commitment this year.
Christmas donations 2023: A school that is growing with its pupils
The savannah landscape of northern Togo is the least urban area of this small West African country. Its population live mainly off agriculture – cotton, corn, millet seed, beans and yams are grown here using the simplest methods. In this region, there is a severe lack of schools and those that do exist are in a poor condition or are hopelessly oversubscribed with up to 100 pupils in each class.
After Jansen AG made it possible for a school for approximately 300 children to be built in the south of the country in recent years, we are now also financing the construction of a new school in northern Togo. In the village of Sagbièbou, the children have benefitted from a nursery school that was built by the Suisse-Togo non-profit organisation in 2010. Now, Suisse-Togo is building an entire primary school in the village. This year, the donations made by Jansen AG have already ensured that a fifth classroom could be built in the Savanes Region.
A classroom is being built every year until the school has the target number of six classrooms. This means that the school is growing with its pupils.
