Long months of hunger between meagre harvests hold Niger's families in a brutal grip. Mercy Corps started work in Niger in 2005 to help address malnutrition among children under five. Since then, our programmes have promoted health and nutrition, food security and economic development in rural and urban communities.
As a dire food shortage threatens millions this year, we've begun emergency cash distribution and new cash-for-work projects to help families survive the crisis, and continue to invest in ways to stop the cycle of hunger from getting worse.
