Give the Gift of Quality Education in Niger!
|
The 2022 Gift Catalog is here! You can help children in Niger this holiday season. By choosing your gifts from the Remember Niger 2022 Gift Catalog, you will provide crucial opportunities for children to attend school. Only 50% of children go to school in Niger, the least developed country in the world.
Niger is located in Western Africa and it is the least developed country in the world. Our vision is for all children in Niger to have the opportunity to receive a quality education. We are currently supporting over 4,000 students in 18 schools across Niger. Children in Niger need you. Because of donors like you who care about their health and well-being, we have been able to ensure that thousands of Nigerien children attend high-quality schools. But the need is great. Will you help us do more this holiday season? |

NEW CLASSROOMS
11 Classrooms in 2022 
2022 is a very exciting year for Remember Niger! We will construct more classrooms than ever before in a single year, thanks to your generosity. Construction of 5 school buildings with a total of 11 classrooms is underway! This means that every year, an additional 400 students will have the opportunity to go to school. These permanent cement block classrooms will provide a safe place for children to receive a high quality education. We are grateful for you, our supporters, for giving generously because you recognize the importance of establishing more schools in Niger. One of the reasons for the low school attendance rate is a lack of school buildings. Together, we are creating lasting change – one school, one classroom and one student at a time.

TRAINING for TEACHERS
6 days of training 
The 2022 Remember Niger Teacher Training was a huge success! 115 teachers, administrators and staff attended this 6-day training. They received training in pedagogy, technology, inclusive education, the relationship between the school and community and violence in schools. The technology program included training in Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The instructors focused on the evaluation and reinforcement of lessons to ensure that every student understands the material being taught. Thank you to our donors, IMF Giving Together and the Montgomery Village Rotary Club for making this critical training possible. Teachers are equipped and excited about the 2022-2023 school year.

RALLY FOR NIGER
Scholarships for Girls 
Houge, pictured with RNC Executive Director Kara VanderKamp, was the first recipient of a scholarship to attend a Remember Niger partner school. Many girls like Houge will have the opportunity to attend middle school and high school, thanks to your support of the 2022 Rally for Niger, which took place in October in various locations around the United States. It was a nationwide celebration and fundraiser to provide scholarships for girls to attend secondary school in Niger. Only about 9% of girls in Niger attend secondary school. For girls who are educated beyond primary school, the likelihood of an early marriage is reduced significantly. Furthermore, the longer a girl stays in school, the less likely she is to be married before the age of 18. With pregnancy and childbirth before the age of 18 leading to a number of complications, including both maternal and infant mortality, there are numerous reasons to encourage girls to stay in school. Thank you to all who participated and supported the 2022 Rally for Niger! Please support scholarships for girls in Niger by participating in the Rally or by making a donation today!
