(NOT EVEN A SIMPLE LATRINE)

Women and Girls Suffer Most, Walking 4-6 miles a day to find water.

The water they find is often contaminated.

Because they have to walk for water, girls don’t go to school.
The average girl in Niger receives just four years of education.

The consequences of generations of uneducated women are tragic:

85% of Nigerien women cannot read or write.

76% of girls in Niger are married by age 18.

That’s the world’s highest rate of child marriage.

The average woman will have seven children.

That’s the highest fertility rate in the world.

A woman in Niger dies from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth every two hours.

WHAT’S THE ANSWER?

Giving people access to safe water is the first step, but these are deep-rooted problems that require a comprehensive, long-term approach. Read how we do it.
