Why sponsor?

• To enable underprivileged children to live their childhood lives today through education and to become responsible adults tomorrow. With 42% literacy among those aged 15 and over, it is essential to teach them the basics from an early age.

• To support poor families. 35% of the Beninese population lives on less than one euro a day, school fees or childcare represent a very important part of the family budget and many families cannot therefore afford them.

• To provide medical care. The infant mortality rate * still stands today at 55%!

• Families need your support.
