Labaronne-Citaf partners with Jarnati: sponsorship for water access in Benin

As part of its annual sponsorship program, Labaronne-Citaf is proud to support Jarnati in 2025—a nonprofit based in southeastern France that has been leading solidarity projects in Benin since 2009. This partnership is rooted in a shared mission: to significantly improve the living conditions of local communities, especially children, through targeted and sustainable actions.

A borehole project for the Onsikoto school

One of Jarnati’s key initiatives for 2025–2026 is to provide clean drinking water to schoolchildren in the village of Onsikoto. Today, students must walk 1.2 km round trip to fetch water for the school canteen.

This installation will give children and villagers easier access to clean water—a scarce and precious resource in the area.

Providing safe water near the school and village reduces health risks, eases daily burdens (especially for children), and encourages regular school attendance—particularly for young girls, who are often tasked with fetching water.

A local nonprofit with deep roots

Based in southeastern France, Jarnati has been working for over 15 years to support communities in Benin. Their actions include donating school and medical supplies, providing equipment to local schools, and leading water access projects.

They work closely with local stakeholders to ensure that each initiative is effective, impactful, and sustainable.

The Onsikoto borehole is part of a broader commitment to create a safer, healthier, and more equitable learning environment for children in Benin.

A commitment aligned with Labaronne-Citaf’s values

For over 60 years, Labaronne-Citaf has supported humanitarian, health, and social causes around the globe. This year, we’re helping to fund this project so that it can be completed by 2026.

Partnering with Jarnati to improve water access in Benin is a meaningful way to put our expertise and resources toward a cause that aligns with our core values.

Together for long-term impact

Labaronne-Citaf is proud to contribute to this vital project. Through this partnership, we reaffirm our commitment to a fairer world—where access to water and education isn’t dictated by geography.

Supporting a project like Onsikoto’s means investing in future generations. It also shows that businesses can play a powerful role in solving today’s global challenges.

A heartfelt thank you to the Jarnati team for their incredible work. Together, let’s continue making water a right—not a privilege.
