Fondation Jeunesse Unie
AIF Grantee
Fondation Jeunesse Unie is a community-based organization in Benin dedicated to protecting and empowering vulnerable girls, particularly in rural and underserved areas such as Aguégués.
For over two decades, the organization has worked to ensure girls’ access to education through scholarships, promote adolescent sexual and reproductive health, and support the socio-professional integration of young women, including teenage mothers.
Its mission is to create pathways for vulnerable girls to thrive by ensuring equitable access to education, skills, and health services, enabling them to break the cycle of poverty, claim their rights, and become leaders of change in their communities. Over the past five years, the organization has supported 618 girls to stay in school and facilitated the economic empowerment of nearly 1,500 young women across southern Benin.
