Friends running for Office

December 19, 2020 By leslieclark

Niger elections are in full swing as we speak.  We have among the candidates for regional and national offices–six friends running.  Every one of them we have known and worked with for at least ten years.  We are very proud that our work together has led to visibility that encouraged them to run.  They are […]

Help for Iferouane Students, Artisans, Seamstresses and Matrones

April 15, 2020 By leslieclark

The only way to insure that our matrone training program continues in the long-term is to turn it over to local staff.  We have been inching toward this for many years.   The biggest step yet was possible when during our last mission we learned that all the essential materials we provide to new trainees […]
