Help for Iferouane Students, Artisans, Seamstresses and Matrones

November 30, 2020 by leslieclark Leave a Comment

Last year, when we visited the school in Iferouane, Niger where we had helped them repair the roof which had blown off, we found the kids doing their studies kneeling on the ground–they needed desks.

Every year for 15 years we have done some kind of project in Iferouane, a community that has proved to be very industrious and very worthy of the things we do.  After severe flooding last year we helped rehabilitate potato gardens.  Still suffering from the loss of their herds in that flooding, this year we […]

Today was another day about education, but in a different place: Agadez.  Nomadic kids rarely have an opportunity to go beyond grammar school, but when there is the will of the parents we like to help where we can.  The village of Aouedenine we have worked with for many years.  It is the hometown of […]
