Background:Near the town of Allada, Benin Republic, are five villages. Of those five, only two villages had school space for their children. The objective was to build additional classrooms to service the estimated 900 students in the three outlying villages who weren’t able to attend school. As Coafrica’s second project in Benin, we are excited to follow the impact these classrooms have on the nearby villages of Allada!
