The projects you are helping to fund are located in Mali’s Kolokani and Tominion Districts. Mali is a landlocked country with vast deserts and a long dry season where many people lack access to clean water and sanitation. In fact, only 34% of Kolokani’s population has access to an improved water source. But thanks to you and our implementing partner, World Vision, we are working to change this.
The initiative you’re funding is at the halfway point, and we’re thrilled to report that everything is on track!
So far, World Vision has rehabilitated three wells and constructed 14 new wells with handpumps. Piped systems that will bring water directly into communities are currently under construction and the solar panels and pumps that will power them are awaiting installation.
Along with the construction of new water projects, sanitation and hygiene initiatives ensure the long-term health of the community and sustainability of the work you’re funding. A total of 50 communities have learned about the dangers of open defecation and are committed to becoming certified as Open Defecation Free through a process known as Community Led Total Sanitation—42 of these communities have already been certified as Open Defecation Free! In keeping with this effort, community members have built 2,827 latrines.
Water changes everything—access to education, improved nutrition, gender equality—and so much more. Thank you for partnering with us to change the lives of people in Mali!
