MORE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY

Benin is a small West African country. The population in this country has the lowest literacy rates throughout Africa. Corruption is rampant and lawlessness is increasing due to unavailability of economic reform and the government has no real knowledge about how to create jobs and maintain sustainable economic development. The country also has a large Christian population and is one of the last African countries where freedom of religion exists. The country is mineral rich however with limited transportation infrastructure, it is unable to sustain profitable business. The education infrastructure is outdated by decades and their textbooks are obsolete. A sizeable population is involved in voodoo and animism.
