The Project will strengthen the capacity of Mother’s of Students Associations (AMEs) in northern Benin to address poverty and biodiversity loss by using schools as hubs for reforestation and agroforestry activities. These activities will expand forested habitats to increase biodiversity, generate income for the school and community, increase food security by providing climate resilient crops to school canteens, and provide a leadership platform for women to champion the environment and alternative income opportunities.
