In Togo, a large number of people are still unaware of the basic gestures involved in rescuing people who are victims of a road accident or an incident affecting the physical body. Given that this situation has become increasingly alarming in recent times, the NGO ASTOVOT is setting up a life-saving training and awareness-raising project this summer. The project involves raising awareness and training road users in lifesaving techniques, so that they can learn the basics of first aid in the event of traffic accidents or other incidents (trauma, cardiac arrest, bleeding, etc.).

To train national and international volunteers in first aid so that they in turn become trainers for the project.
To raise awareness and train people in life-saving techniques through practical demonstrations at various parking areas in the town;
Organise a mass awareness-raising and training session for the public and motorbike taxi drivers in a public square.

Volunteers take part in the centre's activities.
Volunteers will first be trained by other volunteers who have first aid experience;
The trained volunteers will in turn train road users in various first aid modules;
To mark the end of the project, the volunteers will organise a mass awareness and training event in the commune to demonstrate the various aspects of first aid that have been covered by the project;
