Enjoy a West African Fundraiser Gala Dinner with Togolese music and dancing on Saturday, March 9th.

Wo.S.A.T., a Chicagoan West African Women’s Association is celebrating International Women’s Day and their 16th birthday at Chateau Del Mar in Hickory Hills on March 9th from 6pm to 12am. Donations are welcome for those who may not be able to attend by Zelle / Paypal / CashApp: wosatready@gmail.com . Wo.S.A.T. is a nonprofit organization and donations are tax deductible.

Comprised of 22 Togolese women who are mostly Mina, this Chicagoan women’s organization was founded in 2007. They are hoping to raise $20K to fund water works projects in the Village of Danyi Gabi, Togo, and to provide much needed medical and school equipment and supplies.

In 2022 WOSAT funded similar projects in the Villages of Atoeta, Ahepe, Agbetiko and Batoumé, with $12K they received from donations and membership dues. WOSAT also funded projects in Togo in 2017, 2016 and 2014. Many videos and pictures are available here.
