   Adzoavi Tatey is an advocate who has dedicated her career to improving the welfare of women and youth in Togo. Before participating in the International Leadership Visitor Program (IVLP), Tatey was a dedicated middle school teacher. After returning to Togo, she founded an NGO called Alafia, which works to expand women's empowerment and youth education. In addition, Tatey was inspired during her IVLP to continue her own education and subsequently earned her degree in sociology.

   Through Alafia, Tatey has worked to eliminate harmful and demeaning cultural practices by working directly with traditional community leaders. They have worked to eradicate demeaning practices that impact widows, most importantly reducing the practice of depriving widows from their inheritance in the Aneho Region of Togo. Following the success of this flagship program, Alafia has broadened its horizons to advocate for women and youth education on a larger scale.

   Adzoavi Tatey continues to collaborate with fellow IVLP alumni and contacts she met in the United States during her IVLP to make meaningful and sustainable advancements for women and girls in Togo.
