FC CHAYIL — ITALY & BENIN

Our mission

Fighting ignorance through knowledge, faith and concrete action. Two branches, one commitment: transforming lives.

"Chayil means strength and virtue in Hebrew. We believe that arming communities with knowledge and faith is what sets them free."

OUR STORY

Born from a deep conviction

The Heart of Chayil Foundation (FC Chayil) was founded by Sessou Cakpo Anthelme with a clear vision: to combat ignorance in all its forms — technological, academic, social and spiritual — by mobilising two continents.

Our structure rests on two complementary branches: the Italy Branch (Fondazione Cuore di Chayil APS, San Miniato, Tuscany) and the Benin Branch (Cotonou). Together they form a bridge between Europe and Africa in service of the most vulnerable communities.
