The nomadic Touareg and Wodaabe of Niger have faced challenges to their nomadic way of life from environmental and political concerns. These have recently become more serious due to the discovery of uranium in their traditional pasturelands. The Tamesna Center for Nomadic life is conceived to help them meet these challenges. Located in the heart of nomadic territory, on the annual migration route to the pastureland of the "salt cure", it is easily accessible to both nomads and vehicles. Tamesna will provide a fixed location for nomads to have access to essential services that require a fixed location. Here they will be able to visit and explore ways of adapting to the changing world and improving their lives, without abandoning their nomadic traditions.
