Our Lady of Perpetual Help Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Niamey, Niger.
The cathedral features architectural elements that combine religious motifs with regional construction techniques, creating a distinct religious structure in Niger's capital.
Founded as a parish church in 1931, the building received its cathedral status in 1948 and became the Metropolitan Archdiocese headquarters after Pope Benedict XVI's declaration in 2007.

The religious complex maintains enhanced security measures implemented in 2015, ensuring the safety of worshippers during regular masses and special ceremonies.
