American Togolese Community
AMETOCO Is an US based nonprofit and non-political organization. AMETOCO was created in 2007 by a group of Togo citizens with the burning desire to fill in the existing gap, first between Togolese themselves leaving abroad and second between them and the motherland Togo.
With the possibility of bringing together all Togolese living abroad especially those living in North America under one umbrella, in the pursuit of participating in the socio-economic and cultural development of Togo, the vision and mission statements of AMETOCO are spelled out as follows:
