The Ecoile des Etoiles project is the most recent primary school established in the desert of Niger.

The initiative came about thanks to a recommendation by Mussa Yahja, a Tuareg who, after a series of challenges, now lives in Trentino after moving from the Sahara Desert.

The structure was built by the NGO AFAA in Agadez, which has been collaborating with us for over 15 years. Currently, the school consists of a single classroom that accommodates children of various ages, as the local authorities were able to send only one teacher.

The funds for building this school were raised online through the audience of Adrian Fartade, a well-known science communicator in the fields of astronomy and space exploration.

Thanks to this project, the Bambini nel Deserto Association was established in Agadez, Niger, between the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024.


During the night, a fierce wind blew off the roof of the school. The beams and metal sheets were swept away, scattered hundreds of meters away. The fury of the wind caused significant damage to the building structure, with the beams violently torn from the walls.

Fortunately, since it was night, the school was empty and no one was injured. The quick intervention of the community allowed for the rescue of desks, chairs, and educational materials, which were transferred to the nearby mosque, which fortunately remained intact.

Ousmane Kato from the AFAA (Association Formateur et Animator de Agadez), who built the building, estimated the repair costs to be €12,000. It is now crucial to raise these funds to repair the school and ensure that the children of Acarrara can resume their lessons in a safe and secure environment.

Donations are tax-deductible according to current regulations.

With your help, we can rebuild the school and give the children of Acarara a future.
