Supporting Sustainable Agriculture for Extreme Poor Households in Boboye

Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world. The country is ranked among the bottom five countries for the last decade, currently placing 189 of 191 countries. Over the last couple of years, humanitarian needs have significantly increased in Niger.

4.3 million people will need urgent humanitarian assistance.

We are working in these villages to ensure extremely poor households can cover their basic needs of nutritious food and potable water, in a sustainable matter. Food, livelihoods and access to clean water are the main needs for these villages and therefore Islamic Relief are constructing two solar-powered boreholes in Boboye, which include loads and training in management of market gardens.

Our Mission

• Empower communities: Equip families with the knowledge and tools to build and maintain solar-powered water pumps and irrigation systems.
• Promote sustainable agriculture: Train farmers in conservation techniques and drought-resistant crops to improve food security and nutrition.
• Nurture resilience: Provide nutrition education and support to ensure families understand and access healthy and diverse diets.
