It may work: but it depends upon the cause of your testosterone deficiency. Discuss w/your doctor. Ask about other therapies that may be available in Africa or see if there's some way you can have the medication shipped to you on a regular basis.

Not really!: The goal when hypogonadism is the problem is to restore testosterone levels to normal for the long term. Clomiphene is not usually used long term because safety and effectiveness over years and decades have not been proven. The goal when infertility is the problem is to achieve a pregnancy, so Clomid (clomiphene) is used in the short term, to improve sperm count & T4.
