| Togo Family Assistance Program: This program is designed to assist Togo family members of all ages in meeting the everyday demands of their daily lives. Most of these families are struggling through life at the near-poverty level and they need financial assistance to meet life's basic needs -- food, clothing, shelter, medical, education, transportation, etcetera. This is done by TFWA field personnel through financial support and teaching basic life skills. Of course, all of this contact with the family members allows the TFWA field personnel to share and teach the love of Jesus. | $0 | $13,016 |
| Togo Tigers Program: This program has been strengthened this year by wiring financial assistance to a TFWA associate in Lome, Togo, West Africa, who disburses funds to provide living accommodations and business development financial assistance to young men and women living in poverty in Togo. This program also pays for 2, 2-month trips annually by Mike Hutchinson. When in Togo, Mike uses ABCD experience to assist the Togo Tigers in learning by working on self-designed projects that help the community and eventually allow the individual Tigers to be self-supporting. | $0 | $12,642 |
