Yao Akato here, I am the Founder & CEO of Quality Education & Water For All (QEWFA). I am originally from Togo, West Africa but have been living in the US for the last 11 years. I have always had a passion for helping people and being a beacon of change and improvement. It has been my life’s goal to help women and children from a very young age and It means the world to me that these goals are coming to reality. What made me want to start this organization was the realization I received during my first trip back home only to see that nothing had really changed in the 10 years I had been gone. I knew that I had to act and be the change I wanted to see.
My name is Komlavi and I have taken on the position of Treasurer. I went to vocational school to study carpentry.

I am a native of Togo, West Africa and am excited to see the massive impact we have on many more villages to come.

Hi I’m Kawi. I’m the Advisor for Quality Education & Water For All. I am a native of Togo, West Africa. I attended vocational school for communications. Sense graduating from there I am a lead for the biggest broadcasting radio station in Togo.

I have been the POC between the villages and other organizations that have come to Togo planning to do similar things, QEWFA has set the bar much higher and I’m excited to team up and really get things done.
