What Did RAIN Accomplish This Year?
- At the primary school level 145 mentors are helping 450 girls and 125 at-risk boys to attend school and succeed there – we need to add 30 mentors this year so that 150 more girls can thrive in primary and middle schools.
- There are 220 women in 3 garden cooperatives with wells that are growing crops organically, learning about vitamins and cooking with nutritious vegetables.
- Fifteen communities continue to have access to water with RAIN wells – water that also improves food security through garden irrigation.
- Savings and Loan groups are the next step to financial independence for mentors and other women in our partner communities. We chose the S&L model over micro finance because we feel it’s imperative that members invest their own funds. Once trained, mentors will not only run their own S&L groups, some will go on to become community trainers.
