Violence and insecurity have crippled life in Central and Northern Mali, while frequent and increasingly severe droughts have added to their struggles.

In Yehi, most families make their livings by farming. But persistent drought leads to food instability, leaving many children malnourished.

Child marriage is common and leads to girls dropping out of school. The majority of adults have no formal education, and as a result, many children don't receive encouragement to attend school.

1,445 children from displaced families benefitted from food assistance to protect them from malnutrition.

11,169 boys and girls under 5 received the measles vaccination to guard against this preventable illness.

812 young people learned to wash their hands with soap to protect themselves from infections and diseases.

2,758 girls and boys are living in safer communities after local leaders promoted peace and unity in their villages.

“Our father died in the conflict and we were very sad. A volunteer visited us and helped us with our grief. We felt supported and I learned to help my mother and my siblings.”
