Education is seen as the key to break through the deep poverty. With these school scholarships at Youchaou's School you can allow kids being able to read and write, learn the most important things to find a job later.

The vision of our primary and secondary school “Youchaou” was dreamt by the local community leader in Kalabancoro, Youchaou Traore. Many families in Kalabancoro would approach Youchaou and plead for a school to which they could send their kids. Construction and expansion has been supported by the Mali Initiative since 2004. Now the children need help to cover the school fees and equipment.

Quality education for the poor is a major focus for our schools and so class sizes are limited to 35 students. Teachers undergo regular training to improve their teaching techniques, ensuring that students are engaged and are learning effectively. Computers have been donated by the Australian Telecommunications Company Telstra. Computers and the internet facilitate learning for students, teachers and staff.

    I was visiting the schools in Bamako this spring and was deeply impressed by what has been created there. Also, I‘ve been speaking to Jurgen Nagler several times who is the lead advocate for this project. He has an excellent standing in the development community and in Mali in particular where he managed to build an entire school with funds that he raised in his German neighbourhood.

    Zusammen mit Jürgen und dem Rest des Sterntaler-Vereins unterstütze ich dieses Projekt insbesondere, weil man sehen kann, wie die kleinen Aktivitäten zu einem großen Erfolg und Freude bei den Einheimischen führen. Vor allem die Kinder sind für jede Hilfe dankbar und geben es durch ihre Herzlichkeit tausendfach zurück! Bitte unterstützen auch Sie die Kinder und/oder das Mali-Projekt!

    Ich kenne Jürgen Nagler, den Vorsitzenden des Vereins Sterntaler e.V., noch aus der gemeinsamen BWL-Studienzeit. Gerade dadurch, dass Jürgen auf ungewöhnlichen Wegen zu dem Engagement für Mali gekommen ist und Berufserfahrung in der Organisation von Projekten mitbringt, bin ich sicher, dass jede Spende in besten Händen ist und dass die Arbeit in Mali sehr professionell gemanaged wird.
