    • Ary and Joanne Vreeken in Niger
      The United Nations Human Development Index rates Niger as the poorest country in the world. Balancing what is good for sustainable development with one's Christian calling to be compassionate is not easy here. Our three partners in Niger are at completely different capacity levels, but each one has gained in their ability to manage their own development program.
