In Benin, the Consortium supported a local poet in compiling a booklet of twenty illustrated poems on water called “Eau, O vie” (water, or life).

The writer himself presented the booklet in schools and inspired the pupils to develop short drama plays on water, sanitation and hygiene. The pupils performed their plays during the international water day 2015 to their parents. This allowed to sensitize parents and pupils at the same time on the topic.

Beyond the project schools, other schools showed great interest in the booklet and 3,000 copies were distributed.
