In the charity's own words
Amadan, which means Shepherd in the Tamajaq language used by many in Niger, is a charity formed to help support the people of Niger. We support and work with Christians in Niger, responding, as funds allow, to the basic physical and spiritual needs of the country. As a good shepherd tends to their sheep, Amadan seeks to tend to the individual needs of the people in Niger.
