To improve the reading skills of girls in the Girls Project, we organize reading sessions with the girls during our study meetings. These sessions give girls a chance to practice basic reading skills in a safe setting, using simple reading texts. But how does it really work?
Get Involved to Help Our Students (Online) This Thursday!
Want to help our students? Why, thank you! We have a fun, easy way you can volunteer to help our kids by sending them encouragement during this tough year. On April 8, you can come learn how to do it at our online April Volunteer Evening. At this online event, we will get you started with our Notes of Encouragement Volunteer Campaign. Notes are just short messages to encourage our students as they work hard in school.
One Science Teacher Hones His Skills
Teachers in Mali come together, have long tea-drinking sessions, and go to visit other villages as a group, but it is rare that they come together to learn from each other. Because we believe teachers are key to success for our students AND that teachers can really help each other, Mali Rising Foundation hosts Teacher Peer Meetings where we bring teacher together to learn from each other. In late March, we hosted a teacher peer meeting in the big town of Ouelessebougou. This meeting brought together five science teachers who were all thrilled to participate. Mr. Souleymane Koné was one of the participants. Mr. Koné is a science teacher in the village of Fadiobougou, which is home to the Entrepreneur Organization Learn for life Academy.

Celebrating International Women's Day with the Girls Project
March 8, 2021 was International Women’s Day. At Mali Rising, we celebrated this special day in our own way. How? By cheering for our girls as they played their hearts out on a dusty soccer field. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the girls cannot currently travel between schools to play. However, we set up match between the 7th and 8th grade girls and the 9th grade girls at Denik Middle School in Zambougou.
