About Niamey

I live in Niamey, the capital of Niger, where the river winds through dusty streets and life moves to the rhythm of the desert. Our country is young — more than three-quarters of our people are under 29 — and though we have great energy and potential, we also face deep poverty. Many struggle daily just to find food, work, and stability.

Niamey is the heart of our nation. It’s a place of contrasts — small industries beside street vendors, government buildings rising next to crowded neighborhoods, the sound of motorcycles blending with the call to prayer from the Grand Mosque. Most of our people are Muslim, faithful and devout, yet many are weary, searching for peace that rituals cannot bring.

I see both need and opportunity all around me. The young people of Niger are hungry for purpose, longing for hope that lasts. Though the Church here is small and often misunderstood, it stands with quiet courage — sharing Christ’s love through education, compassion, and prayer. I believe God is preparing a new generation in Niger to rise up, to know Him deeply, and to lead this land into His light.
