Double Your Impact on Giving Tuesday!

Your support makes the dream of a better life through secondary education a possibly - one for which most nomadic students of the West African desert regions do not have. Scholarships, secure dormitory space, tutoring and mentoring is just the beginning. Secondary school is where students learn the critical skills needed to stretch their horizons, become community leaders, and shape their own futures.

  • 15-year old Elamo wants to build a boarding school so all the children from his village can have the same opportunity he has.
  • 18-year old Agali wishes to become a minister to “end the problem of education in Niger, and provide internships so nomadic students can continue their studies.”
  • Abarta, Bappa, and Tamamounte, all 18-year old girls, hope to study medicine to help their families and villages.

You've generously given to this project because you're passionate about access to education for rural and at-risk children in Niger. On Giving Tuesday, December 2, GlobalGiving and Microsoft YouthSpark will be matching every donation to the Agadez Learning Center. This is a wonderful opportunity to share your passion with a gift donation in honor of someone special. Or, just sharing our Agadez Learning Center project on Giving Tuesday with friends and family will be a win for the girls and boys working so hard against the odds. 

In this season of sharing, give a piece of your heart -- give the gift of education nomadic girls and boys.

 

Thank you for your caring spirit, and the very best wishes for the holidays!
