On September 22, 1960, Mali gained independence from France. Traditions for celebrating this important day are rich, but insecurity threatens them.
Looking Back & Forward with the Girls' Project
Last school year in Mali was an incredibly topsy-turvy one because of the pandemic, the teachers' strike, a coup, and the political protests. As a result, classes were suspended several times. Despite this situation, I am proud to report that the Girls' Project was able to carry out the activities that we planned for the year.
Healthy Kids = Learning Kids
There are many challenges facing Malian students. In addition to an on-going teacher shortage, water issues, a lack of teaching tools, and overcrowded classrooms, many students miss school due to avoidable illness. Through our Health Project, we are working to reduce that particular problem for our students!
Thank You For Your Generosity

Make A Donation in Honor Of Alou
As we announced earlier this week, Alou Doumbia, our Construction Manager, passed away late last week after a short illness. We are all so sad to say goodbye to Alou, but no one is sadder than his family. That’s why we are gathering together donations in honor of Alou to share with his family.
