The Association for the Development of Social and Solidarity Actions (ADAS), known as the "SGMT Foundation" (Société Générale des Moulins du Togo) offered, on Wednesday 21 December 2022 in Baguida, educational kits of wooden games to seventeen (17) Public Kindergartens (JEP) and the private kindergarten "La Véracité" of the Inspection Lomé-Est.  In total, 41 kits and 18 logical blocks were distributed to these kindergartens. These kits will facilitate learning through play in pre-school education programmes. The kits were handed over to the educators by the president of the foundation. This was in the presence of the inspector of Lomé-Est.

Pre-school education is an essential step towards achieving universal primary education and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This major challenge can be met by integrating play into learning. Play or playful learning is an essential component of early childhood education. It is within this framework that the SGMT Foundation has set up a project called "Acquisition of wooden play kits for kindergartens and nursery classes in the Gulf 6 zone". Through this project, the foundation has offered seventeen (17) kindergartens pedagogical kits of wooden games; this with the aim of reinforcing learning through play in early childhood education programmes in schools of the Lomé-Est inspection of the Gulf 6.

For Eli Kodzo Apéli Ayémé, in charge of local development at the SGMT Foundation, these kits support educators in the learning of pre-school children. Thanks to the initiation of this project, the foundation hopes to strengthen its collaboration with the Education Inspectorate of Lomé-Est, and thus develop actions in the Golfe 6 commune.

For the educator at the Jardin d'Enfant Baguida IV, Mrs. Takou Ame, representative of the educators of the beneficiary schools, "these kits are well designed and will allow us to better strengthen the knowledge of children. We thank the foundation for the support it has always given us. We promise to make good use of these educational kits.

The Association for the Development of Social and Solidarity Actions (ADAS), known as the "SGMT Foundation", is a non-profit, non-political and secular Togolese association. It is the result of the corporate social responsibility policy of the Société Générale des Moulins du Togo (SGMT) and supports the initiatives of the communities of Katanga, Gbétsogbé and Noudo Kopé thanks to a comprehensive support methodology and targeted funding.
