OUR MISSION
Join us in our mission to empower young, underprivileged Beninese to earn a living wage and teach them how to care for the environment. With your help the training we provide in culinary arts, craft beer brewing and organic farming will help them live healthier, more productive lives and build a stronger local economy. Our work gives them hope and protects them from turning to violence and despair.
Transforming Lives Through Training
$50+ THOUSAND DOLLARS NEEDED
We recently obtained official government certification for our craft beer, La Natayaise — a major milestone in the growth of our initiative. To meet rising demand, we are building a high-capacity cold storage facility, which enables us to increase our annual production from 60,000 to 600,000 bottles.
This new facility will run on solar energy, reinforcing our commitment to environmental sustainability.
More than just expanding output, this project will enable us to train more young people in the art of craft brewing, offering them real economic opportunities while serving as a model for sustainable and inspiring entrepreneurship.
