Benin is facing significant population growth with an ever-increasing number of children and adolescents in need of access to education. Educational infrastructure, especially in the north of the country, is struggling to meet the needs and to provide quality education. Schools are overstaffed, teachers are inadequately trained and this is reflected in low results in national examinations.

ASED, in partnership with the Fondation Vie Pour Tous, is working to provide quality education for all in northern Benin. Its action targets particularly children with good school results from the poorest families. Champagnat College in Kandi, which ranks among the best in the country, cannot currently respond favourably to all requests for schooling.

The project wishes to double the capacity of the school (from 6th to 3rd grade) and to increase the number of students attending. The secondary school has recently strengthened its administrative management and is ready to increase its educational offer while maintaining the quality of education, which remains its main objective.
