Supplying an orphanage in Saga

Following a suggestion from a Nigerian citizen living in France, AESCD set up a project to supply beds to an orphanage in Saga, a district of Niamey. A grant from COSOG, a branch of the Treasury, and the Saga orphanage received the requested beds in November, through RAEDD.
The action carries on in 2021 with support to kitchen equipment and food storage.

In 2022, a new COSOG grant enabled the creation of a sewing workshop for orphans. This will allow them to learn sewing to ensure their financial autonomy and a better future.

In 2023, COSOG funded the purchase of 22 metal cabinets to equip the orphanage rooms, providing the children with a personal and secure space to store their belongings.

Grants for students

Since 2014, targeted donations to AECIN from a Nigerian lady living in France, have allowed for allotting a dozen scholarships to students from poor families from Dogondoutchi, under supervision from RAEDD. The remainder of the donation is allotted to local humanitarian charities (two Niamey orphanages, Niger SOS Cancer charity.
