Bring Light and Education to Niger

By Jacob Dolan-Bath | Project and Communications Coordinator

              Having a solar-powered library and computer room will allow students to benefit from information as never before. 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.

             The RAIN solar library will give opportunity to students that truly want to empower themselves; who want to succeed. RAIN needs your help to build this special space. Having a place that promotes opportunity is so rare in West Africa. Support for these remarkable people comes in many forms from RAIN, but all is rooted in learning. Join Rain for the Sahel and Sahara to help the simplest of dreams – healthy lives, food on table, knowledge of and connection to the world – come true. The solar library will give a new opportunity to students that truly want to empower themselves and who want to succeed. The continued support and growth of the learning center is vital as it allows more students the ability to get an education have support, and guidance. RAIN needs your help to build this special space. Having a place that promotes opportunity is so rare in West Africa. Support for these remarkable people comes in many forms from RAIN, but its best is education. Come join Rain for the Sahel and Sahara as we push students toward their dreams and ambitions.   

            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.
