The Country’s Challenges
In Niger, four out of ten girls and three out of ten boys do not go to school. Children grow up in an often dangerous environment that prevents them from attending school regularly. 76% of girls are married before the age of 18, 36% of teenage girls become pregnant between the ages of 15 and 19, and only 29.9% of girls are literate, compared to 50.2% of boys.
Enfants du Monde works actively in Niger to offer a second chance to children who are out of school or who have left school too early. The aim is to improve the quality of and access to education.
Our Impact
- 914 children and young people have gained access to quality primary education;
- 15,000 young people aged 9 to 14 who have dropped out of school or never attended school are receiving education tailored to their needs thanks to the mandate we carry out for Swiss Cooperation.
