October 2008 was full of expeditions to Mali. During our stay in Ouelessebougou, our local Health and Economic Development Coordinators prepared and presented the "healthy village workshop" in the villages of Dialakoro Keleya and Bassa. They worked with the villagers to create a sustainable health plan for which they will have full ownership. It was amazing to see the sense of empowerment that came into the eyes of the village health council members.
The villagers recognize the lasting impact that the alliance is having in their lives. One villager said, "there are 14 NGOs in the area, but the only one making a difference in OUA… Your project is the only one that goes directly to the people. You have helped with the real needs."
We are grateful to our donors who give selflessly to our projects that are making a real change in the lives of Malian villagers. Thank you for your support!
