| Description | EDUCATION AND THE AGADEZ LEARNING CENTER: FEWER THAN 15% OF NIGER'S NOMADIC AND RURAL CHILDREN ATTEND SCHOOL. GIRLS WHO DO ENROLL ONLY REMAIN FOR AN AVERAGE OF 3 YEARS. RAIN INCREASES SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AND SUCCESS FOR AT- RISK GIRLS THROUGH WOMEN MENTORS - UNEDUCATED COMMUNITY WOMEN WHO ENCOURAGE AND ADVOCATE FOR THEM. THE MENTORS RECEIVE TRAINING IN HEALTH, HYGIENE, GENDER ROLES AND MORE - THEY BECOME WISE COUNSELORS TO THE STUDENTS AND GREATER COMMUNITY. THEY TEACH PRACTICAL SKILLS CLASSES THAT OFTEN LEAD TO FUTURE MEANS TO EARN LIVELIHOODS. THIS COMMUNITY-BASED APPROACH TO EDUCATION IS PRIZED BY MENTORS, STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND PARENTS. A NUMBER OF SCHOOLS IN RAIN'S MENTOR PROGRAM ARE SEEING, FOR THE FIRST TIME, GIRLS GRADUATING FROM PRIMARY SCHOOL. IN DECEMBER 2012 RAIN WAS GIFTED LAND AND BUILDING IN AGADEZ, NIGER. THIS COMPLEX IS THE HOME OF THE AGADEZ LEARNING CENTER, WHERE STUDENTS FROM NOMADIC COMMUNITIES THAT OFFER NO EDUCATION BEYOND PRIMARY SCHOOL HAVE BEEN AWARDED SCHOLARSHIPS TO ATTEND GRADES 7-13. STUDENTS RECEIVE ROOM, BOARD AND TUTORING. THIS NEW PROGRAM HOUSED 34 STUDENTS IN THE 2012-2013 SCHOOL YEAR. | Description |

| Description | AGRICULTURE, WELLS AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY: NIGER IS THE POOREST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD (UNDP 2012). RURAL CHILDREN MUST OFTEN BOARD IN REMOTE STATE-RUN SCHOOLS OFTEN LACK FOOD, DORMITORIES, BEDS AND OTHER NECESSITIES. RAIN INTRODUCED DRIP IRRIGATION TO NORTHERN NIGER, DEVELOPING A SYSTEM OF SCHOOL MARKET GARDENS THAT PROVIDE FRESH FOOD FOR STUDENTS AND GENERATE CASH CROPS WHILE USING REDUCED WATER AND ENERGY. IN ADDITION TO IRRIGATION, RAIN'S GARDEN WELLS PROVIDE CLEAN DRINKING WATER TO COMMUNITIES. HERDING ANIMALS IS THE NOMAD'S PRIMARY SOURCE OF INCOME. RAIN IS TEACHING IMPROVED HERDING TECHNIQUES AND CREATING TEMOKO PROGRAMS - GOATS, SHEEP OR COWS ARE GIVEN, THEIR OFFSPRING ARE IN TURN GIVEN TO ANOTHER HERDER OR SOLD TO BENEFIT THE LOCAL SCHOOL. | Description |

ALL PROFITS GO BACK TO THE COOPERATIVE, AND THE WOMEN DEDICATE SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGES OF THEIR EARNINGS TO SUPPORT THEIR CHILDREN'S SCHOOLS. "WE WANT OUR CHILDREN TO BE TEACHERS, DOCTORS, WHATEVER THEY WANT. THEY WILL NEVER FORGET THEIR FAMILIES, BUT WILL ALWAYS HELP US." | Description |
