Nearly 70% of the population in Mali lives in poverty. Two-thirds of the country is comprised of desert or semi-desert land with long periods of drought every year. While vulnerable people in these areas already suffer from chronic food insecurity, the worsening droughts are making it harder for people to cope with and recover from food shortages.
Widespread poverty, food insecurity, and conflict have led to alarming numbers of children facing severe malnutrition.
In Mali, Action Against Hunger supports communities by:
Are in Acute Need of Humanitarian Assistance
Children At Risk of Acute Malnutrition
"Action Against Hunger is behind all the great victories against malnutrition the district has achieved."”
— Dr. Samou Diarra, Nutrition Focal Point for the Kayes Health District
Our teams have carried out ground-breaking research in Mali, helping to train community health workers to both screen and treat malnutrition.
With your help, we can one day end hunger in Mali and around the world.
