Focus on Niger
Domestic insecurity, regional political instability, and climate-induced disasters have hampered the growth of Niger’s economy. In 2023, 4.3 million people, or nearly 20% of the population, were living in extreme poverty. To add, Niger is the main country of asylum in West Africa, hosting an estimated 700,000 forcibly displaced people.
Islamic Relief’s Dedication to Niger
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
- 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
- Orphan care
- 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
