The flood of the Niger River into the city of Niamey in August 2012 has had continuing complications for Sahel Academy and for CBN (Centre Biblique de Niamey). CBN is home to many missionaries and local students, as well as the ESPriT Bible School, the Christian education department of SIM, and a local church. While neither campus is currently flooded, the buildings and facilities remain in great disrepair.
Sahel Academy and the Bible School are meeting in temporary rented locations this school year, with hopes to return to their restored campuses in August and October 2013, respectively.
