This trimester Bio-Benin is focussing on teaching apprentices good hygiene habits to ensure that our kitchen and brewery are kept spotlessly clean.
"It's essential that apprentices wash their hands frequently and keep the floors clean, even wear masks in the brewery if we want to produce a good-tasting, healthy product" says Guillaume Lonhoudjo, our Executive Director.
Many students grew up without running water in their homes. They were also accustomed to using a latrine, rather than a flush toilet, so coming to Natitingou from a small, isolated village, is a major change in their lives.
"I had to get used to a whole new way of keeping myself clean, taking showers daily and washing my hands regularly," says Benjamin, one of our new apprentices.
Gaining an apprenticeship through Bio-Benin is not just about learning how to produce delicious meals and great-tasting craft beer, it's also a life-changing experience in so many ways that equips students for a successful and healthy life.
