Here are a few of the frequently asked questions about Benin Christian Support.

What is Benin Christian Support and what do you do?

Benin Christian Support is a UK-based charity (registered in Clacton-on-Sea) dedicated to bringing hope and practical assistance to communities in Benin, West Africa. We work to improve lives by focusing on education (including providing school meals), healthcare (supporting clinics and medical operations), community development (like housing and orphanage support), and alleviating poverty, all while demonstrating God’s love.

Where exactly in Benin do you work?

Our efforts are focused on various communities within Benin, West Africa. We aim to reach both towns and more remote villages where the need for support in areas like education, healthcare, and basic necessities is often greatest.

Who benefits from your charity’s work?

We are committed to helping anyone in Benin who is in need, regardless of their background, beliefs, or religion. Our primary beneficiaries are children, families, and vulnerable individuals facing challenges such as poverty, lack of access to education and healthcare, and malnourishment.

You have “Christian” in your name. Does this mean you only help Christians?

While our work is motivated by our Christian faith and a desire to demonstrate God’s love, our support is extended to all people in need in Benin, without discrimination. Our mission is to bring hope and practical help to anyone who requires it.

How can I be sure my donation will be used effectively?
