Togo Geography

Today I learned about Togo:

Togo is experiencing major poverty.

Togo’s population is made up of around 40 tribes, which totaled 7.798 million people in 
2017.

 residents here are called ‘Togolese’.

the official language of Togo is French since it was a French colony, but there are other indigenous languages including Ewe, Mina, Kabye, and Dagomba.

In the north, the terrain boasts gently rolling savanna, with central hills and plateau in the south, also feature extensive lagoons and marshlands in the low coastal places.

Traditional Togolese houses are beautifully constructed by hand from mud, with thatched roofs. They come in all shapes and sizes and can look like miniature castles.

Togo was put on the World stage by the national soccer team which reached the FIFA World Cup in 2006.

Little funds allocated to youth development projects have led to an increase in poverty and more crimes...

There is high infant mortality. 100 children out of 1,000 die before they reach five years, owing to lack of resources such as water.

Sad. Right...
