Background
“Situated in the Sahel region of West Africa, Niger has contended with the effects of climate change for years. For the last several years, rain has been scarce, but people planted their crops anyway. Drought prevented much of them from reaching maturity before the rainy season came. When it did, it washed away what the people here were counting on: food through the next planting season” -M.K. Wilson - CARE
CARE has worked through out Niger for three decades and is trying to help communities through a variety of programs.
“Stunting, or low height for age, is caused by long-term insufficient nutrient intake and frequent infections. Stunting generally occurs before age two, and effects are largely irreversible. These include delayed motor development, impaired cognitive function and poor school performance. Nearly one third of children under five in the developing world are stunted.
Wasting, or low weight for height, is a strong predictor of mortality among children under five. It is usually the result of acute significant food shortage and/or disease. There are 24 developing countries with wasting rates of 10 per cent or more, indicating a serious problem urgently requiring a response.” – UNICEF 2007
