Sponsored-children's school attendance doubles
85% of Niger’s population cannot read or write these words. Only one in four men and just one in 10 women can read and write. Across the country, two-thirds of children don’t attend primary school.
Plan Niger is helping parents to encourage their children – particularly girls – to go to school. And Plan works closely with Niger’s Education Ministry to improve school facilities AND the quality of schooling.
When Plan started working Dosso, just over a third of sponsored children attended school. Now nearly three-quarters of them do so, doubling attendance.
