Islamic Relief has been working in Niger since 2005. Having initially begun working in the country to address the food crisis in June 2005, Islamic Relief now runs programmes that cover health and nutrition, as well as water and sanitation. Our Therapeutic Feeding Centres - in four district hospitals - help severely malnourished children with medical complications. There are also 35 community integrated health centres with Supplementary Feeding Centres. These deliver support for moderately malnourished children. We also provide free healthcare for malnourished children, their mothers, and pregnant and nursing women. Water and sanitation activities include constructing wells, hand pumps and latrines, and raising community awareness to reduce the spread of disease.
