In the beginning of the program there were not many meetings. The UNPF was not sure how most men would react. Instead, they invited the most important members of a few communities. These were traditional chiefs, and imams, Islamic religious leaders. These people had a lot of influence. If a chief, or an imam, attended the School for Husbands, others would follow his example. The process began very slowly. But soon, people began to ask what their leaders were doing, and wanted to join.

Today, there are over 164 schools for husbands open in the country. The UNPF says that the use of family planning services has multiplied by three times. The number of people using birth control has doubled. Slowly, families are talking about their family size. They are planning ways to keep their families healthy.

But the School for Husbands does more than teach about women’s health. It gets men to think differently about their wives, and women in general. Fassouma Monzo’s husband attends the school. She told the Inter Press Service News Agency:

“Before the School of Husbands, men did not discuss things with their wives. But now, there is an issue in which they are very interested. As a woman, you can now find a space where you can talk. You can share with your man. It is a great side effect.”

The UNPF thinks that this increased communication will reduce the birth rate. The UNPF reports:
Voice 5 
“Husbands and wives say that they are now talking to each other more. For the first time, husbands are attending the births of their children at the health center. So husbands from the school act as guides for their families. They also help families that would normally find it hard to get to a health center.”

When the School for Husbands first started, people were not sure it would change Nigerien society. There were many ideas about how to solve the issue of overpopulation. People thought that one of these other ideas could bring more change. But the School for Husbands was a success that no one suspected. The process is slow now, but people are hopeful that education will help families in Niger be healthier. The School for Husbands also aims to improve the country for everyone. Men who are educated about women’s issues have a new view. They can help to plan a healthy family. And they can encourage their wives and daughters to get an education, too. Then women will begin to have more control over their lives. And this, experts say, is the best hope toward a better future for all of Niger.
