Niger  Hunger
Years of unpredictable rains and poor harvests, along with existing intense poverty, have left 5.5 million people facing significant food shortages this year. The UN and Government of Niger have both declared this situation a serious crisis. Mercy Corps teams work in the most at-risk areas, and are expanding programs to Mali, where 3.5 million face severe food insecurity. We help communities deal with effects of drought, soaring food prices, malnutrition and low food levels in the Sahel Region. project reportread updates from the field
