A deepening security crisis is unfolding in Central and Northern Mali, forcing children into vulnerable and unsafe circumstances. The activity of armed groups has rendered some areas inaccessible to both government institutions and humanitarian organizations, while conflict between animal herders and farmers has erupted over land ownership and rights. Nearly 400,000 children and families have fled their homes, food prices have skyrocketed and more than 500 schools have closed.
We continue to work with heightened security and caution in the region, partnering with agencies such as the United Nations and the World Food Programme to address critical needs like food, water and sanitation, child protection and peacebuilding.
During this time, sponsor correspondence in our programs across Mali may be affected.
You can support families in the region by giving to Raw Hope. For more information, please call us at 1-800-268-4888.
Mali is a drought-prone country and many residents do not have access to safe drinking water. We help prevent children in Mali from contracting waterborne diseases by providing safe water to hundreds of communities. With farming as the main source of income for more than 70 per cent of the population, we promote the use of drought-tolerant crops and other approaches to help families withstand droughts and floods.
