Our mission is to ensure that every child has the conditions they need to grow up healthy, receive a quality education, and fully thrive, regardless of their background or social circumstances.
This orphanage was founded in 2001 in the capital of Togo. It is the first modern construction built in the African tradition.
In 2009 this second orphanage was established in the Plateaux region, at the foothills of the Togo Mountains.

Every day, we work to ensure that every child has the chance to grow up safely, to learn, to dream, and to thrive. Our mission is simple, yet deeply human: to restore hope to those who need it most.
The word SPES means hope, and hope is the light that guides us.
We support children facing poverty, war, or exclusion by offering them a listening ear, a caring presence, and practical solutions.
A warm meal, a new notebook, a shared smile… sometimes, a small gesture is all it takes to rekindle a great light.
We place education at the heart of our work.
To learn is to grow, to gain independence, and to dream bigger.
SPES International supports children’s schooling, works hand in hand with teachers, and creates learning spaces where every child can flourish.
Because every child who goes to school opens the door to a brighter future.
Children’s health and well-being are a priority.
We work to ensure they have access to healthcare, a balanced diet, and compassionate support. Our teams and local partners work hand in hand to provide care, protection, and comfort.
SPES International is, above all, a collective journey.
Behind every child’s smile are dedicated volunteers, generous donors, and supportive partners. Each of you can contribute to this chain of love and solidarity.
A donation, a word, a bit of your time… every gesture matters, and every heart makes a difference.
Together, let hope grow and change lives.
