Niger  Hunger
Niger's Tuareg and Wodaabe nomads rely on their herd animals for meat, milk and income. There is only one rainy season per year in Niger. Last year's rains were sporadic -- crops are small and pasture land is scant. The rain will begin again in July, and the grasses will start to grow. But now, all is dry and parched. This project will save thousands of animals, as well as the men, women and children for whom these animals are their only resource. This is long-term aid! project reportread updates from the field
