| Description | Women's Artisan Cooperatives and other community enterprises - Women artisans produce beautiful traditional crafts that are indicative of their cultures. Tuareg women work in leather; Wodaabe women are expert at hand embroidery; Taureg and most other women work in different types of straw, depending on the grasses growing in their regions. RAIN found women in Niger suffering from lack of marketing ability, now that their traditional commerce marketing to well-to-do members of their own communities has faded with Niger's increasing poverty. As the ability to sell products declined so did interest in crafts; skills were fading. Artisans asked for RAIN's help. We offer skills training and marketing assistance. The women profit and donate a significant portion of their earnings to support their schools. The artisan cooperatives are gaining young members as they prosper. | Description |

| Description | Education - 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's mentoring and tutoring program increases school attendance and success through women mentors - uneducated community women who encourage and advocate for at-risk students. The women 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. In addition, academic tutors help students prepare for year-end exams. The mentors are offered literacy classes that they enthusiastically embrace. This community-based approach to education has improved the ability of girls to attend school and succeed there. The program is prized by mentors, students, teachers and parents who are seeing local girls graduate primary school and go on to middle and high schools for the first time ever. In addition to the mentoring program, RAIN assisted students by providing food for 34 children from rural nomadic communities who are attending middle school and high school in Agadez and for 63 students at the Gougaram nomadic school. | Description |

| Description | Agriculture, The programs in RAIN's agricultural sector in 2012 included installing and improving school market gardens in the Agadez and Tillabery regions of Niger. In addition to school gardens in 2012 RAIN initiated its first women's garden cooperative. The 99 women of the Mari cooperative in Tillabery were assisted with a new well and fencing as well as receiving training in organic gardening and nutrition. RAIN also funded herding programs to generate income for young men and mentors, who allocated a percentage of their herds for school support. | Description |
