School is out right now for our village children in the Ouelessebougou region of Mali. And, while their minds may be elsewhere, the Alliance is planning for the 14-15 school year. School begins in October and we want to see as many girls as possible enroll in school. Our Field Director and Program Coordinator in Mali work diligently with villagers and parents encouraging them to send all their children to school, not just the boys and not just the first born.
The Alliance works to subsidize the cost of sending a child to school and we invest in the teachers. We continue to work with the Mali Ministry of Education and cover the cost of the government sponsored teacher supervision program. And we know our efforts are paying off--our 6th grade students scored higher than the national average on the 6th grade exit exam!
We will keep working and raising money until every girl in our 25 villages from 1st-6th grade are given the opportunitty to attend and succeed in school!
Thank you for believing in this important mission!
