Project Report | Jul 18, 2025
Trainees Excel Under the Guidance of Our Director

By Julie Wang | Chair, Bio-Benin Advisory Board

AImée is among the stars of Bio-Benin's training program in culinary skills, thanks to the excellent teaching and careful guidance of Bio-Benin's Executive Director, Guillaume Lonhoudjo.

Aimée, who plans to open her own restaurant when she graduates from our program at Chez Guillaume, says she has "learned so much about cooking seafood and pizza, hygiene and cleanliness and being polite and friendly to clients." She is also enthusiastic about how she has learned to prepare and bottle fruit juices and craft beer, all of which will be enormously useful when she sets up her own establishment.

Aimée is just one of many of our trainees whose lives have been transformed by learning a marketable skill that enables them to make a living wage to support their families and live a dignified and meaningful life.

Thank you to all our donors for your support in making all this happen and in helping enrich the community of Natitingou in a meaningful way. We couldn't do it without you.
