Our Base and Our Future

NCI is an association firmly based in France, from where we coordinate all of our projects and initiatives. Building on our expertise, we are actively preparing to expand our horizons to Benin, where we plan to open a local branch soon. This new structure will be completely independent, designed to best meet the specific needs on the ground and strengthen our impact.
