We believe in a world of opportunity, not poverty
Deki works with communities to build resilience to poverty and the effects of climate change
Together, we can create lasting change
Welcome to Deki!
We're an international development charity dedicated to supporting locally-led, sustainable change in rural Togo, West Africa.
By collaborating closely with local partners, we help communities to:
Build resilience to poverty through financial inclusion and training, and through the provision of locally managed essential services.
Increase resilience to climate change through enhanced farming practices and environmental sustainability initiatives.
Improve health, education, and livelihoods by empowering women to lead and take ownership of community development.
At Deki, we firmly believe in the intrinsic capabilities of local communities. Through collaboration, we work together to pave the way for a brighter, more sustainable future.
Community Led Development Projects
-
Holistic Approach
Together, we equip local women with the skills and knowledge to become leaders in their communities, ensuring they have the resources and services needed to build resilience against poverty and climate change.
-
Safe Water
We rehabilitate broken boreholes which are often left in a state of disrepair as communities don't have the knowledge or money to fix them, bringing safe water to communities.
Eliminating the need to boil water reduces harmful carbon emissions and deforestion.
-
Cookstoves
We provide families with fuel efficient cookstoves, which use less than half the wood of open fires.
This reduces carbon emissions and smoke realted health problems, whilst reducing deforestation.
Collecting less wood saves women and children an hour a day.
-
Microfinance
We empower communities to grow their livelihoods by forming self-led cooperatives and women empowerment collectives.
With training and financial support communities can work collectively to develop new skills and build resilience to extreme poverty.
We believe that given the opportunity, communities can thrive
