Domestic insecurity, regional political instability, and climate-induced disasters have hampered the growth of Niger’s economy. More than 10 million people were living in extreme poverty in 2021. And to add, the country is struggling with an influx of refugees fleeing conflicts from neighboring countries including Mali and Nigeria.

Thanks to you, we've been able to accomplish so much. But there's still so much more to do. By continuing to support our efforts in Niger, you can help make a difference in the lives of those in desperate need.

Islamic Relief has been in Niger since 2005. Since then, our focus has been on long-term development assistance to help pull vulnerable communities out of the cycle of poverty.

A few of our interventions include:

• Food aid
• Access to water, healthcare, and education
• Orphan support
• Qurbani+ (Plus), an initiative that seeks to increase the income of families by partnering with them in an Islamic microfinance livelihood program connected to Eid al-Adha
• Humanitarian aid for vulnerable communities including internally displaced people
• Emergency aid for flood-affected families including food aid, non-food items, and cash assistance
• Women empowerment

When you make the decision to help fundraise for the effort, you go beyond just thoughts and prayers. This increased IMPACT is priceless, because it means we’re able to meet more needs of those who are waiting for us to lend a helping hand.
