Since July 2024, floods in Niger have affected more than one million people, causing loss of life and the destruction of homes, fields, and livestock. In the Tahoua region, World Vision has provided critical assistance to those affected by the floods by distributing non-food item (NFI) kits and cash assistance. These interventions have enabled families to feed themselves, rebuild their homes, and strengthen their resilience to future disasters. Testimonies from beneficiaries illustrate the tangible impact this assistance has had on their daily lives.

Les inondations de 2024 au Niger ont touché plus de 1,4 million de personnes, causant 391 décès et détruisant 152.232 maisons, 2.477 salles de classe, ainsi que des milliers d’hectares de cultures. Ces dégâts ont provoqué une crise humanitaire majeure et des pertes économiques considérables. En réponse, World Vision a d’abord distribué des kits d’urgence (couvertures, ustensiles, moustiquaires, etc.), puis lancé une assistance en cash pour 1.800 ménages sinistrés dans les régions de Maradi et Zinder, avec une aide de 40.000 FCFA par ménage. Cette aide a permis aux bénéficiaires de répondre à leurs besoins immédiats : nourriture, vêtements, reconstruction de maisons. Les témoignages de Fatouma et Ibrahim illustrent l’impact positif de cette initiative sur la résilience des familles touchées.

In Dogo, Niger, environmental issues are sparking action. World Vision Niger is leading efforts, with children central to change.

Maman Issoufou, a father of 13 living in Bouloun Kourou (Maradi region, Niger), saw his life transformed thanks to the Maradi Integrated Resilience Project (MIRP), funded by WFP and implemented by World Vision. Faced with advanced land degradation, water shortages, and food insecurity, he had to sell his land to feed his family. In 2019, the project restored his abandoned 8 hectares, providing him with income through "Food for Assets" activities, nutritional supplements for his children, and a solar-powered borehole for drinking water. Today, he is a model of resilience, no longer selling his land, investing in agriculture, and aspires to develop a market garden to further improve his family's nutrition.

In 2024, the intertwined challenges of conflict, climate change, and economic uncertainty continued to heighten vulnerability for children and families across West and Central Africa. Yet, by God’s grace and through collective action, World Vision reached more than 13.9 million people with life-saving and sustainable support. Discover our impact.

Africa’s climate future depends on communities, not boardrooms and without their leadership, even billions in pledges will not be enough.

Zeinabou Agadogo, a 70-year-old mother living in Guiladjé, Niger, has long suffered from extreme poverty, exacerbated by food insecurity and climate change. Before World Vision's intervention, her family lived in extreme poverty, marked by the loss of a child to famine. Thanks to World Vision's donation of four goats, her life has radically changed: the goats have multiplied, allowing her to rebuild her hut, improve her family's diet, and regain her dignity. She expresses deep gratitude to the organization for transforming her life.

World Vision restores land, reduces climate risks, and builds resilience to protect children from hunger, disaster, and displacement in 69 countries.
