Kaki project
A “Kaki” is the uniform that all public-school student in Benin must wear in order to be admitted into school. In spite of the relatively inexpensive cost, equivalent to $15 Canadian, many families simply cannot afford the expense. Benin is one of the poorest countries in the world.
A widespread poverty !
Benin educational policy promises free education for the population. But in order to qualify, students are required to wear a school uniform, the Kaki.
However, children must wear the uniform: kaki.
A widespread poverty makes it difficult for many families to buy uniforms for their children, and therefore prevents them from receiving an education.
