Remember Niger: The mission of the Remember Niger Coalition is to unify people and mobilize resources in order to expand quality educational opportunities in Niger. We are unique in that we partner with and support Nigeriens who have a remarkable vision for their country. The leaders of the Evangelical Church of Niger are in the process of creating a private school system in order to transform their country spiritually, socially and economically. Each of them has been impacted and changed by Christian education and recognizes its transformative power.

The executive director of Remember Niger, Ms. Kara VanderKamp, came to CTPC a few weeks ago to share with us her work in Niger. If you would like to donate or volunteer with the organization, click here.
