About L’Africaine d’architecture:
L’Africaine d’architecture is an international organization encouraging a more integrated approach to the field of architecture and the African city. Since July 2012, the association has been testing its urban utopia in Lomé; "HubCité Africaines", which triggered the establishment of the WoeLab incubator network, which has become the center of the Togolese tech-scene.

About WoeLab:
Open to all, the WoeLab, with its 1300m² of space, is an incubator based in Lomé, Togo, where new approaches of productive collaboration and inclusive entrepreneurship in an African context.
WoeLab aims to welcome and accompany young people and unpack their potential by introducing them to the startup culture.

TechContainers offers education spaces for children living on the streets, with a spirit of #LowHighTech and technological democracy — to make everyone equal in the face of new technologies.

Each container is equipped with a 3D print made of electronic waste, free wifi, workspaces and we offer various programs within it. Supported jointly by the young community of WoeLab, some of these stations could be taken over in the evening by NGOs that work with street children and we provide support for their activities.

The motivation of this project is to offer training and education, to create jobs, and to encourage health and care for street children by democratizing digital technology & design and via rapid prototyping processes. By placing dedicated stations close to our target community, we offer shelters and resource centers to associations working with street children.
