Rain For The Sahel And Sahara Inc

Food and water security, rain's food and water programs leverage solar energy, borehole wells, and drip irrigation for community gardens that provide fresh food and generate cash crops. We help launch cooperative gardens where women learn organic agricultural and sustainable business techniques; transforming livelihoods, building women's agency, and supporting family and community wellbeing.

Rain's women's entrepreneurship program trains cohorts of women in the basics of financial literacy and business practice. By layering our structured training program onto familiar income-generating practices - like gardening and herding, we seek to render the process more accessible and set these networks of women up to support themselves and one another as they collectively navigate whatever challenges they may face.

Agadez learning center, this complex creates access to education for girls in grades 6-9 from nomadic communities that offer no education beyond primary school. Students receive room, board, mentoring, and tutoring in a supportive learning environment. Through rain's supports, students from isolated communities and underfunded primary schools are set up to succeed alongside their city peers.
