Bring Lights, Books and Computers to Niger

The solar lab is being sponsored in part by the Portsmouth Rotary Club and by donors like you. This faculty will empower rural nomadic children to explore their curiosity and develop a love for knowledge. With more access come more opportunities. These children will be given the ability to see the world and be given new perspective and understanding. These students come from villages far and wide without to continue their education.   

The Agadez Learning Center is important to the young women and girls, many of whom have the potential of been married young and never having the chance to finish their education. RAIN helps give skills and informed knowledge to illiterate women mentors, who turn into activists. The skill and advancement that the Center provides for many different people is the strength of the Center. The way towards sustainability is through education. The broadening of ideas shall help many of these students.

“I want to become a doctor or a teacher to help my community not be sick and teach so that they can learn,” Hadi.

“When I come home for break I teach others including my mother and my sibling. I teach them about all the things I learn at school,” Naoubi.     

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.
