Since expanding to the southern Tillaberi region of Niger in 2009, RAIN has gained many motivated community partners to take part in the widely popular mentoring program. We're happy to share that the community of Etaghas, with your help, is embarking on this journey of education and new opportunity for girls and women alike.
The initial community meetings, recruitment process and training has taken place - the stage is set for the joyful task of empowering girls to succeed.
Etaghas Mentoring Program
The Etaghas School serves several surrounding area hamlets, each of which is represented by a mentor. This arrangement serves to unite the greater community around our important education initiative. The five mentors will help spark the drive in twenty five elementary school students. As in all RAIN mentoring programs, mentors are teaching their students valuable practical skills, including the craft of straw and stalk weaving that is a tradition in the region.
We look forward to updating you in the very near future as these two mentoring programs bloom to give at-risk girls a leg up in school and in life. None of it is possible without your support - thank you!
