Well Pat - I'm not sure how plantains would do in your area - most need quite a bit of water - perhaps they would grow well on the banks of a stream. Good luck

Welcome aboard! You may want to research the drought-hardy varieties of plantain; I am sure there is something suitable for Niger. I seem to recall them being grown in Chad as well; the plantains that I'm familiar with here in Ecuador (south america) are very water-intensive. Or, as Cassie suggested, try planting on the banks of streams or water holes.
