Remember Niger Coalition

Remember Niger Coalition seeks to effect sustainable change throughout communities in Niger by working with Nigeriens to establish high-quality, self-sustainable, and resilient school campuses that are available to children of all financial situations.

Remember Niger plans to accomplish the organization's goals by focusing on school construction and academic enrichment programs.

Classroom infrastructure is pivotal to our mission to create quality educational opportunities in Niger. Construction allows each grade to have its own classroom, resulting in increased student registration and higher educational quality. The planned progression toward multi-level educational complexes in our partner schools provides permanent space for thousands of students to receive quality educations, pre-k through high school, in preparation for university and professional level degrees. Ultimately, individual student lives are shaped by an education that provides the necessary foundational elements and opportunities to become fully engaged citizens who are empowered to pursue their dreams.

Creating self-sufficient and sustainable educational communities is an essential component of our mission mission. Solar Power and Water Security Programs produce ideal campus environments, increase teaching time, and contribute to the health and financial autonomy of schools. In Niger, the price of these integral commodities is rising, and the public cannot afford them.

Once the physical infrastructure is established at our partner schools we are able to develop programs that support the core components of an education like filling seats with engaged students, curriculum enrichment, providing books and computers, and encouraging parent-teacher communication.

Each Remember Niger Coalition partner school is in a different stage of development, which begins with construction and continues with the addition of enrichment programs. With continued support, all of our partner schools will reach full student capacity through our student sponsorship program and build community confidence, which leads to higher enrollment.

Remember Niger has partnerships both in Niger and in the U.S. that will help ensure its goals are met. In Niger, RN is connected with many groups and individuals who are passionate about spreading the word of RN's good work and helping in any way the can, whether that be by referring reliable and high-quality contractors, offering to feed, house, and transport members of the RN team, or using their network to secure licensing and funding. RN's Nigerien partners' hard work also ensures accountability and sustainability.

RN has developed strong partnerships with faith organizations civic groups, and individuals across the world, and more partnerships are being made weekly. Because of these connections, RN's capability to accomplish the goals they've set is growing larger and more sustainable.

To date, Remember Niger has helped establish and develop 9 educational communities, impacting thousands of students. On these campuses, it has 7 primary schools, 1 middle school, 1 girls' center, 2 preschools, 4 secondary school girl residential education programs, 3 computer labs, 5 wells, 2 libraries, and 2 community gardens. It has not yet connected all of its campuses to solar power, but it has obtained the materials and training to do so.
