A brighter tomorrow starts with investing in the next generation

Better Tomorrow Benin’s formula is simple. We partner with hardworking, high-achieving Beninese students and their families. These students are smart and deeply motivated; they are often among the best in their class. But because of circumstances beyond their control, they are at risk of dropping out. Their families might not have enough money to continue sending them to school. Or the student might not have both parents at home, and need to support their younger siblings. Regardless, for each student there are barriers blocking them from achieving their highest potential.

Better Tomorrow Benin works to get rid of those barriers. Our scholarships start with the essentials - we provide money for school fees, school supplies, and food. Then we connect our students with local mentors in the area, who help guide them through their studies. As they get older, we help the students prepare for and decide on what to do next. Some students go to university, others learn a trade at a vocational school. We continue supporting them every step of the way, until they are fully through the education system and working in whatever field they choose.

These scholarships change lives, and are extremely low cost. For less than $100 a year, a child can go to middle or high school that would otherwise have to stay home. For $500 a year, a child can go to university or vocational school to finish their education, find a good job, and provide for their families for the rest of their lives.
