In 2021 Islamic Relief continued vital work to improve protection for vulnerable groups such as women, children, older people and people with disabilities in Niger. A dedicated project in the Tillabery region engaged directly with local people in 20 villages, equipping them with the knowledge they need to address important protection issues.

“Recently, we benefited from a capacity-building session on child protection and the fight against violence. The knowledge we have gained will definitely change our practices,” says father-of-four Haroun. “We hope this project will help us establish stronger protection for vulnerable people. We are grateful to Islamic Relief for helping our municipality and villages.”
