Welcome to BMASS
A home for the Benin Community, far from home
The Benin Club of Massachusetts is the Boston-area family of the Benin (Bini) people of Edo State, Nigeria. We are professionals, parents, elders and youth united by a shared heritage and a commitment to one another.
We exist to preserve our culture abroad, support our members through every season of life, and build a strong, united community that future generations will be proud to inherit.
