Ease and secure access to school at the Champagnat school complex in Kandi
Location
Kandi, North Benin
Context
Benin is one of the poorest countries in the world where, as in many West African countries, educational infrastructure is inadequate to meet the needs of a young and fast growing population. Overfilled classrooms together with problems of quality of education, result in an extremely low success rate for national examinations. The situation is even more difficult in the north of the country, considered a remote area.
Since 2014, ASED has been working with the Life for All Foundation to develop a school complex in Kandi. The school now includes a primary school, a vocational training program in civil engineering and the entire secondary cycle. With trained teachers, less students, a culture of excellence, the college has become the best in the region and ranks among the best in the country.
Partnership
The Life for All Foundation (Fondation Vie Pour Tous) works in education, youth integration and health in northern Benin. It has set up several own services and evolves towards independence.
