## Activities

**Objects:** TO IMPROVE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN FROM IMPOVERISHED AND SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED FAMILIES IN BENIN, IN PARTICULAR BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY BY SUPPORTING THE CHARITABLE WORK OF ASSOCIATION POUR L'EDUCATION DES ENFANTS EN DIFFICULTE DU BENIN ('APEED BENIN')

**Activities:** The aim of Keep Kids in School is just that: to help kids that have lost one or both parents to keep going to school in the face of severe poverty.  We fundraise and support the work of a local NGO, APEED-Benin, in West Africa. We keep kids in school by paying towards their school fees, buying school books, stationery and cloth to make school uniforms, maintaining a project library and mentoring.
