IT'S TIME TO RALLY FOR NIGER!

WHAT is the Rally for Niger?

The Rally for Niger is a nation-wide celebration and fundraiser for Remember Niger. We invite individuals and groups of all sizes to hold an event of your choice during the months of September and October, to help raise funds for Remember Niger. Our mission is to unify people and mobilize resources to expand quality educational opportunities in Niger.

WHY should I participate in the 2022 Rally for Niger?
Your participation in the Rally for Niger will provide scholarships for girls to attend school in Niger. Only about 9% of girls in Niger attend secondary school. For girls who are educated beyond primary school, the likelihood of an early marriage is reduced significantly. Furthermore, the longer a girl stays in school, the less likely she is to be married before the age of 18. With pregnancy and childbirth before the age of 18 leading to a number of complications, including both maternal and infant mortality, there are numerous reasons to encourage girls to stay in school.

HOW can I participate?
Participating is easy! You may host your own fundraiser or join one of the events listed below.

• WASHINGTON DC RALLY
Georgetown Presbyterian and Chesterbrook Taiwanese Presbyterian • October 15
Georgetown Waterfront, 9am • Join us for a great morning of running, walking, and lots of family fun as we join together to support secondary school girls in Niger! We will meet at the Georgetown Waterfront, Capital Crescent Trailhead, in front of Boating in DC at Key Bridge Boathouse (Rally Beginning Point). We will begin promptly at 9am. There is no need to register. Simply show up and enjoy the fun. We appreciate your donation on behalf of girls in Niger.

Between Worship Services – writing cards/letters to girls in Niger • After 2nd Service (11:45) – 2-mile or 4-mile walk (starting and ending at North Church)

If you aren’t walking, you can still donate to the Rally and participate in the letter writing. Best of all, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar from a generous matching gift! Remember Niger has a $10,000 goal. Our North Church goal is to raise $1,000 that will provide much-needed scholarships for girls to attend secondary school in Niger. If you have any questions, please contact Karen Pepin or Paul Colton.
