Summary

Rain for the Sahel and Sahara seeks to bring our middle school students into the present day with a library and computer center. It's hard for us to imagine conditions in Niger - rural schools have no electricity and few books. Many classrooms are straw huts where children sit on the ground. Only 2% make it to secondary school. A library/computer center in Agadez will offer computer skills in a country with no computers in schools. Help us bring skills and the world to our future leaders.
