The Future of Benin Education Fund: Developing the Contonou School House

Wondering where your donations will go? We'll show you! Our research and analysis has determined that it will take $5000 and roughly 4 months to build a new school house. A large portion of the total contributions received will go towards purchasing the supplies needed to construct the building. The remaining funds will help to pay fair wage labor and laborer accommodations.
