Good Neighbors Niger

Good Neighbors established a field office in Niger in 2012 with official authorization from the Ministry of the Interior and Decentralization, initially targeting the Hamdallaye commune in the Tillabéry region. Recognizing the commune’s urgent challenges, such as severe food insecurity, inadequate educational resources, and lack of basic infrastructure, Good Neighbors Niger quickly identified critical issues, including scarcity of school meals, educational materials, classroom space, child malnutrition, and poor living conditions for women, and embarked on comprehensive community development projects to address these issues.

Over the past decade, we have launched initiatives in multiple sectors, including Health, Child Protection, Agriculture and Livestock, and Education, in collaboration with local governments and various ministries. Our projects have facilitated the construction of educational facilities, provision of essential school and health supplies, support for food distribution, and implementation of nutrition programs to combat malnutrition.

Today, Good Neighbors Niger runs four major community development projects impacting over 22 villages. Our ongoing work focuses on education, food assistance, health and nutrition, school meals, and broader social policy and advocacy. Each initiative aligns with the strategic goals of the Nigerien government, ensuring our efforts contribute effectively to the sustainable development of the region.
