Since a mission trip in Benin, the association CEP has had the will to achieve the construction and sustainability of an orphanage in this emerging country, where the infant and maternal death rate is high.

The first building (250m2) was inaugurated in February 2014.
The second was inaugurated in May 2017.
In February 2018 we built a pedagogic farm . It will help children obtaining a diploma in agronomy, and it will help for sustaining the orphanage by feeding it.
We can afford 32 children from age 3 to 17, and two couples in charge of the direction and of the education and a watchman for security purposes, are receiving accommodation.

Food autonomy is partially ensured by a small farmland comprising the production of cereals, fruits and vegetables and some chickens.
We need to earn an bigger land for agricultural farming: what we collect we can eat a part and sell a part to buy other seeds and plants.

The durability of this project will be partly dependent on the sponsorship of the orphans.

We are actively and constantly looking for sponsors and financial partners.
