Focus on Niger
Domestic insecurity, regional political instability, and climate-induced disasters have hampered the growth of Niger鈥檚 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鈥檚 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:

- Humanitarian aid for vulnerable communities including internally displaced people聽
- Emergency aid for flood-affected families including food aid, non-food items, and cash assistance
