Bibi&Bibo: a nursery for 50 children in Benin

Dear Friends,

we are pleased to share a new update on the “Bibi&Bibo” nursery school in Kpossegan (in the center of Benin) and on the next steps of our project.

In April, Aleimar will travel to Benin for a monitoring visit, together with a group of volunteers. During this mission, we will organize recreational and educational activities for the children attending the nursery school, creating meaningful moments of play, learning, and connection. These activities are an important opportunity to strengthen the relationship among the children and our bond with the local community, while also observing firsthand the progress of the project.

At the same time, we are happy to announce an important step forward in strengthening the quality of education offered at the nursery school. An Italian educator and pedagogist will stay in Kpossegan for several months to carry out a structured training program for the local teaching staff, in collaboration with local trainers. This initiative aims to enhance teachers’ skills, support them in their daily work, and promote child-centered educational practices tailored to the local context.

Through these combined efforts, we continue to invest not only in the well-being of the 50 children who attend the nursery school, but also in the long-term sustainability and quality of the educational service provided.

We invite you to continue following our updates: in the next report, we will be happy to share photos and further insights from the monitoring trip and the training activities on the ground.

Thank you for your continued support and for being part of this journey with us. Your contribution helps us create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive.

With gratitude,
The Aleimar Team
