More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

There are currently over 700,000 orphans in Mali. They live on the streets and beg for food and subsistance money. Education is a luxury that they do not even dream off. Extended families are willing to take in the orphans, but the economic odds are against them. With a per capita GDP of $560, Mali is one of the poorest countries in the world. This project gives orphans access to an environment conducive to an outstanding physical, mental and intellectual growth.

Activities

Project consists of: (1) opening the orphanage in Mali, (2) providing food, health care and education to Malian vulnerable children, (3) purchase and install solar energy, (4) dig a well and install a pump, and produce sustainment food for orphans.

Funding Information

Total Funding Received to Date: $5,907
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $75,134
Total Funding Goal: $81,041

Additional Documentation

This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Providing a home, food, health care and education programs to orphans will allow them to grow and learn in a supportive, loving and nurturing environment. They will grow strong, be part of the human capital, and contribute to Mali's economic growth.

Project Message

Born in Mali, I was separated from my mother, and raised by my single father. I experienced what it feels like being an orphan in Mali. I founded ACFA to "Bring Hope Malian Orphans"

Thanks to our supporters' efforts, we have reached the goal of $4,000 and 50 donors by the end of the challenge, and have been invited to stay on Globalgiving Site. We are extremely thankful to all those who donated time, expertise and resources to allow us to achieve the goal of staying on Globalgiving.
