Living In A Landfill

By Mitch Lewis | Executive Director

Escalating violence in Northern Mali caused by armed forces allied to Al-Qaeda, have sparked a humanitarian crisis. 3.9 million people are in desperate need of assistance and protection. The number of internally displaced people have jumped from around 80,000 to nearly 200,000 in one year, with more than one half being children and women.

Many of the refugees have fled to Bamako in Southern Mali, where they are living in IDP camps under terrible living conditions. Some of these camps have been set up in landfills. Children play among the rubbish, which is always being burned. Toxic fumes from the burning rubbish are causing serious illness and death among the children. Our Bamako clinic is responding to this crisis by sending our physicians and nurses to treat these displaced children.

In addition to bringing life saving care to these refugees, we continue with the clinic’s core mission, which is to deliver quality medical care to the 6,000 street children of Bamako. We are treating children at the clinic, on the streets and at facilities that house poor and abandoned children.
