We started our programme in 1988 in the district of Dosso (Loga and Dogondoutchi), in the East of Niamey. The lack of appropriate infrastructure and numerous other problems, such as low school attendance rates and low academic success rates, were just some of the reasons for this choice. The same reasons lead to the extension of the project to the region of Tillabéry (Filingué et Ouallam), by the border with Mali, and in 2001, to the regions of Zinder (Mirrah) by the border with Nigeria.
The main projects are the improvement of school conditions (buildings, furniture, classroom equipment); support of professional teachers and research into the involvement of the villagers in the education of the children. In the same vein, it is a question of completing the ancestral knowledge, from the socio-familial environment with the primary education of schooled children with practical training.
