Together against hunger and poverty in Benin
Despite visible progress, overcoming hunger and extreme poverty in Benin remains an enormous challenge. Nearly half of the population lives in poverty, many children suffer from malnutrition, and only a small proportion of people have access to electricity or clean water.
Through targeted projects in agriculture, education, and entrepreneurship, we empower women and young people in particular to sustainably overcome hunger and poverty.

Burkina Faso is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. Only about one-third of the population can read and write, and more than 40% live below the poverty line. Many people are malnourished and struggle daily with the consequences of climate change and political instability.
This is exactly where we come in with our Epicenters: we support local initiatives, empower women and young people in particular, and thereby create new opportunities – for a future free from hunger, poverty, and dependency.
