ACCESS TO EDUCATION: FEWER THAN 15% OF NIGER'S NOMADIC AND RURAL CHILDREN ATTEND SCHOOL. GIRLS WHO DO ENROLL ONLY REMAIN FOR AN AVERAGE OF 3 YEARS. RAIN'S MENTORING AND TUTORING PROGRAMS INCREASE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AND SUCCESS THROUGH WOMEN MENTORS - UNEDUCATED COMMUNITY WOMEN WHO ENCOURAGE AND ADVOCATE FOR AT RISK STUDENTS, MOSTLY GIRLS. THE WOMEN RECEIVE TRAINING IN HEALTH, HYGIENE, GENDER ROLES AND MORE - THEY BECOME WISE COUNSELORS TO STUDENTS AND THE GREATER COMMUNITY. THE MENTORED GIRLS LEARN PRACTICAL SKILLS THAT MAY LEAD TO FUTURE LIVELIHOODS AND THEY STAY IN SCHOOL LONGER THAN THEIR CLASSMATES. IN RECENT YEARS WE HAVE SEEN THE FIRST GIRLS EVER GRADUATING FROM OUR PARTNER PRIMARY SCHOOLS. THE AGADEZ LEARNING CENTER OFFERS ACCESS TO SECONDARY EDUCATION FOR NOMADIC CHILDREN.
