Fondation Claudine Talon, Social welfare foundation in Cotonou, Benin.

The Fondation Claudine Talon is a Beninese association founded in 2017 by Claudine Talon, wife of President Patrice Talon. Its stated mission is to improve the living conditions of women and children in difficulty in Benin, through access to quality maternal and child healthcare, drinking water and sanitation, education, the empowerment of disadvantaged women, support for people in extreme vulnerability, and the fight against discrimination against people living with HIV.

The foundation was established in 2017 with a mission to improve conditions for women and children across the country. Since its creation, it has expanded its work into multiple areas of education, healthcare, and community development.

The foundation works directly with local women and communities, offering them access to training and health services tailored to their daily needs. Its programs strengthen social bonds by bringing people together around shared goals of education and wellness.

The organization maintains an office in Cotonou open during standard working hours where staff can provide information about ongoing initiatives. Prospective visitors should check the official website beforehand to learn about current projects and how to arrange visits.

Among its earliest work, the foundation took charge of women with obstetric fistula: awareness campaigns, treatment and payment of their care. It also launched the "examen rouge" to fight HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections, and built modern maternity units in Adjarra, Avrankou and Akpro-Missérété.
