Following the 2025 Edition in Dassa-ZoumĂš, we are preparing a New Edition: NOEL EN PARTAGE | 14th Edition (Parakou 2026) this coming December, benefiting children in two (02) departments: Borgou and Alibori.
This New 2026 Edition marks the beginning of a new chapter in this annual initiative for children, which has been running for almost 14 years.
Since the beginning of 2026, we have resumed our search for CPRC (Child Protection and Reception Centers) in the north of the country đ§đŻ (specifically the Borgou and Alibori departments), the area targeted this year for NOEL EN PARTAGE this December in Parakou.
It should be noted that the Borgou department, comprising eight (08) communes (BembÚrÚkÚ, Kalalé, N'Dali, Nikki, Parakou, PÚrÚrÚ, Sinendé, Tchaourou), and the Alibori department, comprising six (06) communes (Banikoara, Gogounou, Kandi, Karimama, Malanville, Ségbana), do not "officially" have CPRC centers (orphanages) in all their communes, apart from the Social Promotion Centers (SPC) which are responsible for child protection in each locality of the country.
Regarding the CPRC centers we discovered (thanks to our online research while awaiting our visits in the coming weeks), we can mention:
âą BORGOU DEPARTMENT:
- THE "AL-HOUDA" SOCIO-CULTURAL CENTER (Zongo/Parakou)
- THE "SAINT JEAN EUDES" ORPHANAGE (Guéma/Parakou)
- THE "SABOUYO" ORPHANAGE (Banikanni/Parakou)
-"SAINT JOSEPH" CHILDREN'S HOME (Okedama/Parakou)
- THE "YVETTE" CHILDREN'S CARE CENTER OF BOUAROU (Bouarou)
- THE "SAINTE MARIE" CHILDREN'S CARE CENTER OF OUENOU (Ouénou/N'Dali)
- THE "NOTRE DAME DU REFUGE" OF KOMIGUEA CENTER (Komiguea/N'Dali)
- THE "SAINTE THERESE DE L'ENFANT JESUS" ORPHANAGE (Tchatchou/Tchaourou)
âą ALIBORI DEPARTMENT:
- DON BOSCO CHILDREN'S HOME OF KANDI (Kandi)
- PEULH MISSION OF BAGOU (Bagou/Gogounou)
- CENTER FOR THE RECOVERY OF CHILDREN IN DIFFICULT SITUATIONS SSPH/OCPSP OF BAGOU (Bagou/Gogounou)
- "MERE MARIE DE JESUS" ORPHANAGE OF SEGBANA (Toumbou/Ségbana)
We hope that after our upcoming hike in this region of the country (Republic of Benin đ§đŻ) soon, and also before December, we will be able to identify and discover other CPRC centers in all the other municipalities so that we can also include them in this beautiful celebration that we are preparing for the children. "NOEL EN PARTAGE 2026" is scheduled to take place from Saturday, December 19th to Sunday, December 20th, 2026 in Parakou (by God's Grace).
Thank you to all those who have accompanied and supported this initiative for several years, helping to offer these little ones unforgettable moments, even if only for a short time.
May the Lord assist us in making His plan manifest in the lives of each of these children. Amen đđ
