Where It All Began
Lema Plan International started in 2018, inspired by Irene Lema’s lifelong passion for helping children.
Growing up in Tanzania, she supported orphans and families in need—never knowing it would one day become a global mission. In 2018, that passion turned into action.
Opening Doors Through Education
In rural Togo and Tanzania, children lack basic learning materials. We provide books and library access to strengthen literacy and confidence.
Students Supported
Across all partner countries since 2018.
Indirect Beneficiaries
Parents, teachers, and communities reached.
Books Donated
Distributed to build and reinforce libraries.
Community Library Program
Since 2024, Lema Plan International has supported the creation and reinforcement of school libraries. The first community library in Adetiokopé was established with over 1,800 books, promoting literacy and independent learning.
Get Involved
Community participation, dedicated volunteers, and trusted partnerships are at the heart of our impact ensuring every program is transparent, accountable, and built for long-term sustainability.
Volunteer Engagement
Volunteers support logistics, events, and outreach activities. Every year, dedicated teams spend weekends preparing humanitarian shipments and supporting local initiatives.
