Projet for the education of orphans and vulnerable children
Kongoussi
Association Wend Benedo
In Kongoussi and its surroundings the association Wend Benedo takes care of about 331 children orphaned by AIDS, 16 of them are seropositive. Infected or not, children living in families affected by the disease are vulnerable long before the passing away of the parents suffering from HIV and more especially when the parents die. They are deprived of their childhood with damaging effects on their chances of survival or on an harmonious development.
The socio-professional integration of orphans and vulnerable children is promoted through education and vocational training
About 30 children
The total budget is 300 000 € for the period 2019 to 2023, so 60 000 € per year.
The projet is funded up to 80% by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. The remaining 20% have to be funded by CPS through donations.
