Help End the Niger Water Crisis Now

Niger

Niger ranks 189 out of 193 countries in the UN’s Human Development Index.¹ It is located in Africa’s Sahel region and stands today as one of the most spiritually needy areas of the world. Within the Sahel, our strategic focus countries include Chad and Niger, home to 107 unreached people groups representing more than 33 million people.² More than 20 million people in rural Chad and Niger lack access to clean water.

OUR MISSION IN NIGER

Serving the Unreached

The Sahel region, where Niger is located, is one of the most spiritually and physically underserved areas in the world. In Niger, the Christian Church exists in the extreme minority, and believers often face persecution and isolation. Local churches are frequently overlooked by the broader community, leaving them without support or resources.

As part of addressing both spiritual and physical needs, our partners in Niger work alongside pastors and local churches to respond to the Niger water crisis. By helping provide access to clean water, we support communities in building trust, opening doors for relationships, and creating space for faith conversations in a region where hope is often scarce.

Through our Niger-focused programs, we equip pastors with evangelism training and resources to reach their communities more effectively. Local believers are empowered to lead and multiply these efforts, bringing lasting change where it’s needed most.
