The year 2025 marked the 30th Anniversary of World Vision in Niger, representing a historic milestone: three decades of impact, partnership, and hope. Since its establishment in 1995, World Vision Niger has been committed to sustainably transforming the lives of children, families, and communities. Through interventions in health, education, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), food security, and emergency response, the organisation has contributed to building a better future for children across the country.

The 30th anniversary  was celebrated through a series of high-profile events, including the visit of World Vision West Africa's Regional Leader, Carla Denizard, and Regional Communications & Public Engagement Director, Ange Gusenga-Tembo. 

The celebration honored the joint efforts of staff, partners, and communities. The objectives of this celebration included:

• Highlighting achievements and transformations over 30 years.
• Strengthening relationships with technical, financial, and institutional partners.
• Inspiring future generations to continue World Vision’s mission.

The four-day celebration, under the slogan “Together for 30 Years, Together for the Future!”, included significant events:
