Tree Aid works in Niger

Niger

Niger, a large country in West Africa, is one of the world’s poorest countries. The climate is very hot and dry, and most of the country is desert. As a result, over 90% of the population are living in extreme poverty.

Since 2013, Tree Aid has been supporting communities to tackle poverty and improve the environment.
