Country issues
In Niger, four in ten girls and three in ten boys do not go to school. The children grown up in an often dangerous environment which prevents them from following a normal school program. 76% of girls are married before they are 18 years old, 36% of teenagers fall pregnant between 15-19 years and only 29.9% of girls are literate compared with 50.2% of boys.
Enfants du Monde is actively working in the Nigerian territory to offer a second chance to children who are out-of-school or who dropped out too early. The objective is to improve the access to and quality of their education.
Our impact
- 914 children and youngsters had access to a quality primary education
- 15’000 young people aged 9 to 14, out-of-school or dropped out early, received an education adapted to their needs thanks to the mandate we carry out for Swiss Cooperation
