Education Assistance to Zinvié Fandji Primary School in Benin : an urgent issue

Education support which is needed urgently to ZinviéF Primary School in Benin. For a better educational environment for students, the International WeLoveU Foundation's educational support activities shed light on the future of children.

Zanvié is a small rural town about an hour's drive from Benin, the capital of Kotonu. Benin has a poor supply of electricity to most areas except the capital city. Zanvié is also not different from these. When the sun goes down, residents must live in the dark interior.

The local children who study hard for their bright future, study at poorly-equipped schools. particularly, schools that hold afternoon classes between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. have much difficulty as the evening begins. It is the same situation at ZinviéFandji Primary School, attended by 650 students of six different grades. The school staff drilled holes on the wall to let light in, but the afternoon class students still had to receive education under the dimness of the evening night which begins around 4 p.m.

The International WeLoveU Foundation came to learn of the situation, and made a decision to install solar-based electricity facility at the school; it also decided to provide school supplies for the children who couldn’t afford schoolbags and school stationery.

September 26, 20 members of the International WeLoveU Foundation Benin Cotonou Branch wen to Fandji Primary School. All students and teachers welcomed the members. The village head and parents visited the school and gave thanks. The International WeLoveU Foundation supported 650 bags, 1,300 notebooks, and 650 pencils with the hope that students would study better conditions.

The real installation of electric facilities started from October 9. It took 3 days to install the Solar panel on the school roof and connect with battery. The work progressed between morning class and afternoon class and after class not to disturb the classes. The new lights were installed in six classes. Finally, when the electricity comes in the classroom and it made bright light, the students felt very happy. And they said "We received more valuable help than money. The principal, Giselle Gangu, A Group said " We try to salve the problem of electricity but we could not find the good solution. So we want to give appreciation to the International WeLoveUFoundation helped us"

On that day, the school delivered a letter of appreciation to the International WeLoveU Foundation.
