Emergency aid for families and (school) children

Mali is a country in crisis: civil wars waged by radical Islamic terrorists, climate crises involving drought, flooding and locust plagues. More than 350,000 people have been displaced within the country to date and are living in emergency accommodation, with no way of supporting themselves. The children, in particular, are suffering from malnutrition and undernourishment. Most do not attend school. A dramatic rise in the number of street children has been another consequence of the crisis.

This project will support destitute families with the following and more:

• Provision of food parcels (rice, sorghum, noodles, cooking oil, powdered milk, sugar)
• 200 children have received school materials (school bags, pens and books) and their school fees will be covered by the project.
• Medical care for 200 children will be guaranteed by the project, with the cost of checks and medication covered.
• 200 children and young people have received hygiene articles, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, sanitary towels and mosquito nets.

The Redel Foundation is supporting these measures with €130,000.
