Peace Corps Cribs - Benin Edition

Home tours of 4 Peace Corps volunteers serving in Benin (West Africa). Names and sites omitted for security purposes.

Housing situations can range widely between Peace Corps countries as well as within countries. For Benin, volunteer homes vary in sizes, access to electricity, access to water, access to roads and access to cell reception (amongst other things). Some volunteers live in cities with running water, some live in the bush with a latrine. Volunteers can live in polygamous concessions with huge numbers of kids, while others might live with unmarried neighbours and no kids. In some cases you have electricity and ceiling fans, in others, you have solar panels and candlelit evenings.
