The Mali Initiative is a not-for-profit network of committed individuals and organisations in Mali, Germany and Australia. We aim to provide access to quality education for children of Mali breaking the cycle of poverty.

The Mali Initiative focuses on:
• Facilitating the construction of new classrooms and schools
• Significantly improving and equipping existing classrooms
• Providing teacher training and ongoing support empowering teachers

Our approach is unique because we
• Use local knowledge and networks
• Require community contribution and ownership
• Focus on education sector versus multiple sectors
• Adopt entrepreneurial acumen to deliver social objectives
• Ensure real partnership between local and international individuals

Achievements to date
Since 2004 over US$200,000 has been raised. With these funds
• A primary school was built in 2005
• The school was expanded to include a secondary school in 2006
• The school facilities were improved by adding a library and computer-room in 2007
• A street children education project has been successfully implemented in 2007

The school is considered one of the best in the country will be used for teacher-training in partnership with the local representatives of Ministry of Education.

Wow, who would have thought, that we are able to finish two projects in such a short period of time. Thanks a lot, to all the donors and supporters, due to your effort, we are able to support the children and pay for their education and their food.

And we have more good news to announce.Last week we found the registered association “Sterntaler für Mali e.V.”, which is the responsible organisation for the Mali-Initiative in Germany. We are also looking forward to our first upcoming fundraising event, which will be held in Forstinning next month. The second fundraising event will be in Munich in the beginning of July.Last but not least our Mali-Initiative website is on its final stage and it should be online within the next two weeks.

Let’s keep up the good work!
