It is estimated that around 6.8 million blind people and many more visually impaired people live in Africa.

In Kpalimé, the Eglise Evangélique Presbytérienne du Togo (EEPT) looks after affected pupils.
The high school there is known nationwide for its work with blind girls and boys. In particular, paying school fees or the fees for the necessary boarding school accommodation is a recurring problem, which this programme aims to minimize and ensure that those affected can attend school.
