All of us at RAIN are thrilled at the show of support by our friends at GlobalGiving - with your help, our call to action to give 50 nomadic students the chance to pursue their education beyond primary school raised $7,000 - above and beyond our goal of $5,000.
The staff in Niger is on the ground recruiting primarily Wodaabe girls from the more remote communities of the Air Mountains. The Wodaabe are the most marginalized of Niger’s nomads, with the fewest number of girls progressing past the fourth grade.
Together, we’re taking the steps to make this a thing of the past.
Thank you so much for caring and a very Happy New Year!
The Team at RAIN and all your friends in Niger
