What is Global Strides for Niger?

Join Remember Niger Coalition for the Global Strides for Niger 5K, a joyful community event where every step helps create opportunities for children in Niger to receive a quality education. 

Why It Matters

Only about half of children in Niger attend primary school. Remember Niger currently supports over 5,000 children, and our vision is for ALL children in Niger to have access to quality education. 

YOU CAN HELP. Every registration and every dollar raised helps Remember Niger Coalition build new schools, train teachers, and provide sponsorships for students.
