Refurbished  Classrooms

Refurbished after flooding

In 2019, Remember Niger Coalition expanded its impact by entering into a new partnership with a public primary school in the Azzel community in the Agadez region. Established in the 1950s, the Azzel Primary School has been a pillar of the community for nearly 70 years and currently serves 265 students from 10 surrounding villages. The school has 8 classrooms, a kitchen, a large garden, a dormitory for students, and a dormitory for teachers. The students’ dormitory is particularly critical for serving children who come from nomadic families.

​In 2018, the school experienced a catastrophe when the neighboring river overflowed and flooded the campus, damaging 80% of the buildings and completely destroying the teachers’ dormitory. The community stepped in, mobilized by the school’s organizing committee, and raised funds to repair the main classroom building. Remember Niger Coalition contributed by refurbishing 4 classroom buildings, which helped enable the school to reopen. However, many projects remain, including rebuilding the housing for teachers and the school kitchen.
