About us
Agerto is derived from "Association GERmano TOgolaise". Agerto is a non-governmental organization without any intention to make profit and which was founded by young people in 1999 to promote a lasting and harmonious development. Agerto has its head-office in the district of Kloto in the South-West of Togo and is located at the foot of the mountain Kloto, at a distance of 135 km from the Togolese capital Lomé.
The association supports every effective and responsible participation of populations in development projects on a self-promoting basis referring to the protection and preservation of the environment, such as ecological tourism or green tourism. Agerto offers for example organized hikes, visits to traditional heads of villages, visits to interessanting plants, such as for example trade centres and others.
