About us
Light in the World Development Foundation
We are an organization that works with communities and institutions
in North America, Europe and Africa to remove obstacles that hinder
development in West Africa and especially in Togo. Our intent is to
give African children a brighter future and existence than the one
they have known. The organization has focused its activities on
education, healthcare and agriculture. It is headquartered in Tulsa
Oklahoma and has chapters across North America, Europe and Africa.
Light in the World Development Foundation, USA
In the year 2011 Light in the World Development Foundation
(L.W.D.F.) was founded as a non-profit-organization in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, USA. Whereas the aid of L.W.D.F. Germany is confined to
Africa the target groups of the american branch also comprise
backward and under served areas in the USA.
Light in the world Development Foundation, Germany
The German branch of (L.W.D.F.) came into being in 2013, at first
under the name DGAO (Developpement Global de l'Afrique Occidentale =
Globale Entwicklung West-Afrika). Later by the consideration that
one organization should not act under different names, the name of
the american organization was taken over for Germany as well. The
aid provided by Germany is confined to Africa.
Mission Statement
The mission of Light in the World Development Foundation is to
enhance the dignity and quality of life of African and under-served
areas of the USA, including children, families, and communities by

their fullest potential through the power of organization, projects,
donations and philanthropy.
Our Vision
To change the lives of the African children who have no hope and to
