Ear to the ground in Niger….

RAIN changed my life.  Now I have a good feeling about the future. - Rhaisha, RAIN AIDS trainer

My granddaughters go to school now. 
Since RAIN gave our village a grain-grinding machine,
they don’t have to stay home and pound millet.

|- Takadaw, member, women’s artisan cooperative

We hired a gardener for our school garden, but he stopped working. RAIN gave us this garden, we couldn’t let it fail.  We parents took over the work. - Alassane, President, Gougaram School garden committee

RAIN saved my herd of goats – they would have starved
 without the grain RAIN sells.  I see the ONG does good work and I’m going to start sending my children to school. - Abdelkader, herder
