17 Portes de maradi, Christian church in Madarounfa, Niger.
The 17 Portes de Maradi church stands as a religious structure within the Maradi region, featuring seventeen distinct doorways incorporated into its architectural design.
The church emerged during Niger's religious development in the early 21st century, marking the expansion of Christian institutions in a predominantly Muslim region.
The church serves as a gathering point for the Christian minority in southern Niger, fostering interfaith relations through community programs and educational initiatives.
Located near the Nigerian border, the church conducts regular Sunday services and maintains daily operations for prayer, counseling, and community support activities.
Each of the seventeen doors represents different aspects of religious teachings, creating a structural design uncommon among religious buildings in West Africa.
