Bring Lights, Books and Computers to Niger

Many have never seen a laptop, there are no computers in their schools and electricity is not reliable. Help us to share the power of information with eager girls and boys who are eager to bring skills home to help their communities. Our students share intention of providing for their families and communities. Bellol has that intention. This is what is so powerful about the rural and nomadic communities -- they work together to survive and progress.

            Our Agadez Learning Center creates a place for young girls and boys to live in a safe and structured environment where they receive scholarships, tutoring and mentoring. Our students are working toward becoming nurses, teachers, engineers, agriculture specialists and more. But at the public school they attend there are 80 kids in a class, no computers and electricity comes and goes.

             A solar system has been donated to provide power. Help us build a computer lab and library. With computers come valuable skills and, with internet, the ability to research, study and learn in a completely new way. Other countries, peoples and animals will part of their world. Many have never seen a river, pond or ocean.

Donate now for the chance to help build a building that will impact so many and change so many lives. It truly is a chance to help create real differences in the many communities with so little available to them.

It’s true; teach a person to fish and she will have a skill that rewards her for the rest of her life. And there are so many things that make our lives better – but only if we know about them.  Those of us with Google at our fingertips satisfy our curiosity every day.

Rain for the Sahel and Sahara is bringing education to nomadic and rural women and children who have never had the opportunity to understand our planet, our climate or the illnesses that bring them low.

RAIN seeks books, computers and knowledge for students who yearn to learn.  Our Agadez Learning Center (ALC) offers room & board, tutoring and mentoring to motivated, smart primary school graduates who have no access to secondary school. For these students, and the society in which they live education is key to poverty.

“When I am at the center I have enough water, food, mats, beds, notebooks and pens and lights at night. I can review my schoolwork whenever I want because we have light at night. Truly the center is very beautiful.” – Bellol.
