About This Field Partner
In search of pasture, the nomadic Tuareg and Wodaabe of Niger, roam the Sahara desert. Largely ignored and unassisted, the inhabit the most desolate part of a destitute country ranked the worst place on earth to be a mother and child, and the poorest country in the world.
The NOMAD Foundation has worked for 14 years in Niger helping the nomads support themselves using expertise that has sustained them for centuries. We are now introducing new technologies such as solar power and water well drilling to bring them employment to help them improve their lives.
