The equipment of the library of Parakou and its cultural animations
Location
Tibona, Parakou district, Department of Borgou
Context
School libraries in Benin are rare. Primary school construction projects do not systematically take into account the opening of libraries. As a result, schools are sorely lacking in space and teaching materials.
In Parakou, the largest city in northern Benin, there are many schools, both private and public. Although children in the city have more access to books than those in rural areas who suffers from a lack of optimal study conditions.
In this context, the Foundation gives children, regardless of their social condition, the same opportunities to succeed at school. The equipment of the library and the cultural activities are part of this perspective.
Partnership
The Fondation Vie Pour Tous (FVPT) has been committed since 2005 to education, the integration of young people, vulnerable children, women and health assistance in rural areas. To this end, it is involved in formal education through the construction of several schools in the north of Benin. Its schools are today a reference in terms of quality of education.
