Rural communities in Benin face significant obstacles in accessing basic education due to limited resources. Many families find it challenging to cover their children’s school fees, provide meals, and afford essential girls’ hygiene products while they attend school. These financial constraints result in low attendance rates in these areas. Additionally, weather-related events, such as flooding, frequently disrupt school attendance, leading to underachievement among students. In response to these pressing challenges, AOEE initiated an assistance mission in 2018 to make a difference. We identified the three most underperforming schools in Benin: Loumbou-loumbou, TORIOH, Goungounbéri, Mamassy-Gourma. AOEE provided them with school kits, sanitary products for girls, as well as recreational and sports equipment. This generous initiative was repeated until all the schools achieved significant improvements in their academic records by 2021. Our unwavering commitment to enhancing educational opportunities in rural communities has had a positive impact, empowering students to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential. We remain dedicated to working towards a brighter future for the children and youth of Benin.
