🌱 FIDE/FERI Joins Forces for Environmental Action in Lomé
On Sunday, June 15, 2025, the Foundation for Initiatives Relating to Rights in Education (FIDE/FERI), in collaboration with IHRC Geneva, proudly participated in a large-scale coconut tree planting initiative organized by the Lomé Town Hall.
This inspiring reforestation activity took place as part of a broader environmental protection campaign aimed at promoting green urban spaces and combating the effects of climate change. The project aligns with Chapter 12 (Social Services) of our organizational statutes, which emphasize our commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
A Step Toward a Greener Future
FIDE/FERI’s involvement in this initiative marks a significant milestone in fulfilling one of our key objectives—environmental protection through active community engagement. Our team joined local authorities, community leaders, and fellow citizens to plant coconut trees across designated areas of Lomé, contributing to the long-term reforestation plan of the city.
Recognition and Community Support
At the close of the event, the President of the CDQ (District Development Committee) commended the efforts of all participants. In his remarks, he highlighted the importance of grassroots participation in national development goals and expressed gratitude for FIDE/FERI’s active role in the initiative. District leaders also extended a warm welcome and appreciation to our team for showing strong civic responsibility.
Their dedication and presence underscore our commitment to community-centered action and partnership-driven development.
Moving Forward
FIDE/FERI remains deeply committed to promoting not just education and human rights, but also sustainable and inclusive development. We salute the Lomé Town Hall for this impactful initiative and look forward to more opportunities to collaborate in building a healthier, greener environment for all.
