Current Situation in Niger

Western Niger has been plagued for years by insecurity, displacement, and the effects of climate change. Droughts, floods, and the increasing strain on natural resources make access to clean water difficult. At the same time, in many places, the existing water and sanitation infrastructure is insufficient to meet the population’s needs.

The situation is particularly difficult for people who have been forced to flee their homes due to violence, as well as for the families taking them in. When water is scarce, sharing access to water sources can lead to tensions. A lack of sanitation facilities and poor hygiene also increase the risk of disease. Women, children, and people with disabilities are particularly affected.
