Putting an end to early marriage in Niger
Plan is working with local communities to help put an end to early marriages in Niger and encourage girls to stay in school.
Plan Niger
Plan has been working in Niger since 1998, helping poor children to access their rights to health, education and protection.
Our programmes benefit at least 20,908 children in 77 communities.
Currently, we are focusing on a school canteen project that gives breakfast and lunch to school children in several Plan-affiliated communities. This not only encourages school attendance, it improves village food security and children’s nutrition.
Case study

- providing quality education and teacher training
