Belgique
Contexte Covid - Première édition du Housing Belgique
Les frontières internationales étant fermées, le Housing Project a dû se réinventer et importer ces projets vers une destination plus locale : Bruxelles. Les étudiants ont alors réalisé leur volontariat au cœur de leur ville, là ou les besoins sont tout aussi nombreux et variés.
LE PROJET
In Benin, we participate in several areas of intervention.
First, the fight against desertification is an issue we have felt strongly about ever since the beginning of our activities in West Africa.
In Benin we contributed to slowing down desertification by planting trees. Mixed groups of Belgian and Beninese students plant fruit trees in various schools in order to raise awareness among the pupils in schools and the population of the villages/town.
The second action consists in supporting our partners in their fight against food insecurity. An important part of the money collected by the students will be devoted to a village development projects so the population is able to diversify their farming activities and therefore ensure a better production in terms of quantity, quality and also variety.
Lastly, we also do renovation work on schools and nursery schools.

Cette édition inédite du Housing Project fut une grande réussite pour nos partenaires, pour les étudiants et pour l’équipe de professeurs. Cette expérience de volontariat est tombée à point nommé, ils avaient besoin de se bouger, au propre comme au figuré… se sentir en vi(ll)e et reconnu.
