Since 2011, we have been work­ing with Ta­mat - Friends of the Tu­areg, first in Ma­li and then in Ni­ger. 66% of the Ni­ger­ien po­pu­la­tion is un­der 25. It is an im­men­se chal­len­ge to or­gan­ise school and vo­ca­tio­nal edu­ca­tion for them and to cre­ate in­come op­por­tuni­ties. This is the star­ting point for the CLC ca­mel milk co­opera­tive near the city of Aga­dez.

60,000 of the 180,000 in­habi­tants of Aga­dez are of no­ma­dic ori­gin (Tua­reg, Peulh, Arab) and great­ly ap­pre­ci­ate fresh ca­mel milk. Re­gard­less of cul­tur­al pre­fer­ences, ca­mel milk is al­so very good for one's health. The pro­ject's ob­jec­tives are to re­du­ce the con­sump­tion of dried milk by chil­dren, cre­ate new sour­ces of in­come for ca­mel owners, and pro­vide in­centives for the estab­lish­ment of fur­ther ca­mel milk co­opera­tives. 

To this end, eight train­ing cour­ses on hygiene and pro­per sup­plemen­tary feed­ing will be held at the co­opera­tive farm from 2025 to 2027. A further eight trai­ning cour­­­ses on mar­keting and ac­coun­ting will fol­low at the Aga­dez vo­catio­nal trai­ning cen­tre, which is run by Sal­ver Africa , Tamat's partner.
