Podróż z UNICEF do Nigru, jednego z najbiedniejszych krajów na świecie

Od ponad roku GARDENA wspiera UNICEF, Fundusz Narodów Zjednoczonych na rzecz Dzieci, w jego projektach dotyczących wody, urządzeń sanitarnych i kanalizacji na całym świecie. W kwietniu Joachim Heppler i Heribert Wettels, obaj pracownicy GARDENA, mieli okazję spędzić tydzień w Nigrze, aby poznać pracę UNICEF-u w terenie.

Life in Niger poses particular challenges to girls, such as those from the Matameye community in the Maradi region. According to a Unicef report, only around half of children between the ages of 7 and 16 go to school. More than a third of girls and young women between the ages of 15 and 19 were already pregnant or had children. The birth rate in Niger is 7.3 children per woman - the highest in the world.

In the dry, dusty country, the livelihood of the very young population due to the abundance of children is constantly in danger. One of the biggest challenges is the supply of safe drinking water. So here in the municipality Dokoro in the region Maradi. (Image: Heribert Wettels)
