Time, Talent and Treasure


Sleeping Children is back in Togo after several years absence, thanks to ADES – Togo*, a new charitable organization specifically set up to partner with SCAW and resume helping Togo children living in poverty – and all of it because of the leadership of brothers, Messenh and Dosseh.

Followers of SCAW in Togo might remember these two from the ‘three musketeers’, who, as young men with their cousin, helped every SCAW team, every day. Well, they are now in their 30s, have families and wish to give back this time with their time, talent and treasure. They formed ADES – Togo with about 25 young women and men (21 volunteers were at the first distribution!) and it is a joy to see them bring joy to the distributions as they help organize, play and interact with the children, families and us, the SCAW volunteers.

Three of the four on our team have been to previous Togo distributions and see the ‘three musketeers’ in all the ADES – Togo members. High praise!


Their logo represents it all - for the children they (and we) are helping be happy, joyful, playful, safe and cared for.
