Mali

The situation in the West African state of Mali remains volatile. The north of the country is at war and the south is struggling with the influx of refugees, rapid population growth, high unemployment and a lack of infrastructure. Only 50% of the population has access to a secure electricity supply - access to safe sanitation is only guaranteed for 20% of the population. Two thirds of the population are illiterate and do not attend school.

ORPHANAGE

CHRISTIAN AS A DEATH SENTENCE
Mali has been ravaged by jihadist violence for more than a decade. The Christians in northern Mali already fled at the beginning. Today, Christians in the center of the country are also victims of forced conversion, dispossession and murder. With our local organization, we are active in supporting the most affected families.

TOMORROW'S GENERATION
The school center in Katibougou, from kindergarten to high school, is known as one of the best in the region. The associated agricultural area with fish, chickens, fruits and vegetables contributes to the financing of the school and also serves as a training center for children and young people in the field of agriculture for self-sufficiency.
