We started our activities in 2000 with the assistance of mothers in distress, through the creation of a solidarity group between women gathered in the context of religious activities. The group was later formalized as an NGO in 2004. We are women facing precariousness, who decided to act to change their lives. situation and improve their environment.
We are in Cotonou, the economic capital of Benin in West Africa where children and women are the most disadvantaged, in a context of widespread poverty, where culture is not favorable to gender equality and where children's rights are poorly respected.
We started a nursery and daycare center in 2008. The purpose of this center is to provide an area of protection and education for children, help and training for women in difficulty, including single mothers, single mothers and out-of-school girls. providing services that help families in general. The resources to run the center were planned to come from wealthier families to whom the center offers services (nursery, nursery, nursery school).
During our 10 years of experiences; the operation has been extremely difficult, in that the resources obtained from the services are insuf- ficient. Our activities in the center are:
Daily cares for children (hygiene, meals)
- children's education (nursery school, kindergarten, tutoring)
- Children's Holidays (Holiday Camp, Christmas Celebration)
-crafting and sewing and embroidery (in installation)
-sensitization to the place of the mothers, the mothers-mothers, the members of the NGO and the population in general, on the problems:
.Child's rights
.Safety at work
.promotion of women / gender and development.

Current specific needs:
-We are looking for people with good communication skills. Our foundation is growing up and we want more visibility on the different social network ( instagram, TikTok, Facebook). The volunteer who come here should be able to animate them as much as possible everyday.
- One of the other mission, will be to find other partnership and continue are crowdfunding campaign.
Community needs
Our guests/volunteers are not really aware of the needs of the community. It is a very poor community where there is a great need for old clothes of all ages and sexs, toys for kids, learning materials like books, pens.
That's why we request anyone with that kind heart to at least help with any amount of finance affordable. I had feedback to include this to the page as volunteers could bring the above from their countries.
