Education

Racines promotes and increases the participation of parents in the education of their children (e.g. through the coordination of Parents Associations), the organisation also monitors children who have dropped out of school.

Racines builds the capacity of education actors (teachers, directors, Parents Associations, pedagogical advisors). Racines also works on the improvement of teaching materials, provision of school supplies, tutoring and the participation of children in the governance of schools.

Health and Nutrition

Racines manages the ADIS health centre in Cotonou (HIV/AIDS treatment).

The promotion of health is done at school (by teachers, children and parents), Racines also organizes training for teachers and health committees.

Racines organizes the training and follow-up of women restaurateurs in schools through school canteens (on the nutritional values of food for example) and carries out culinary demonstrations.

Protection from Abuses

Racines organizes awareness-raising sessions and radio broadcasts and puts a strong emphasis on empowering children to defend their rights.

Presentation of an emblematic activity

Organization of tutorials in the 36 partner schools for the benefit of children in 5th grade (last primary class): RACINES implements several activities of socio-scholastic support for the children of the partner schools of Savalou and Bantè. Among these activities, the organization of tutorials for the benefit of children in 5th grade classes is a major part. The tutorials are initiated in order to better equip the candidates of the 36 partner schools for the Certificate of Primary Studies (CEP) and enable them to face the different tests they will be submitted to in the best conditions. For the first year of the three-year project (2019), 288 sessions have been organized in the schools concerned with very satisfactory and encouraging results. Obtaining the Primary School Certificate is an essential step in the child’s learning process and a main objective for RACINES. The success of the CEP makes it possible to measure the efficiency of all RACINES interventions, as it reflects a change in the school cycle and therefore a change of direction for the child.
