Remember Niger Coalition,
JIPC Mission Partner,
Kicks off campaign to build Secondary School in Zinder

The Remember Niger Coalition has the opportunity to make secondary school possible for even more students in Niger. Parents of the Zinder Primary School have been asking for a secondary school for years so that their children might continue their quality education. In response, our partners started construction on a building with their own funds last September. But they need your help to complete the building!
Zinder's Secondary School will allow 150 Nigerien students to receive a quality education through 9th grade. That means hundreds of lives will be forever changed every year. The needs are great in Niger, and together we have the means to meet those needs. Please help us build Zinder's Secondary School by contributing a brick at $40 each, row at $400 each, or wall at $4,000 each.
Together we can change lives! Thank you for your support and partnership.
Will you help us build the first secondary school in Zinder? Donate a brick, row or wall today! Click here to HELP BUILD A SCHOOL, brick by brick, book by book.
