In a little-known corner of Africa, there is a group of women with a incomparable work ethic, known as Elavagnon, an Adja word that means "Together We Will Succeed".

Elavagnon supports the development and economic empowerment of women and girls in Benin, West Africa. As an organization, we seek to find meaningful and inventive solutions to the complex problems of women and girls living in poverty. As a concept, we build on the dreams and aspirations, the dedication and perseverance of the women and girls it supports.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where  they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
– Henry David Thoreau

Together, with support from people around the world, we will succeed in building foundations under our dreams.
