After 10 years at Mali Rising Foundation, I am moving on to new challenges. This has been an incredible decade of service….a truly indescribable time. I feel lucky to have worked with the people of Mali, and with our donors from the U.S. and beyond. While I’m sad to go, I am certain that whoever replaces me will take Mali Rising to the next level.

A Sad Goodbye to Alou Doumbia, Construction Manager
It is with great sadness that I share with the Mali Rising community that Alou Doumbia, our Construction Manager, passed away late last week after a short illness. The staff, board, and volunteers of Mali Rising are shocked and saddened to say goodbye to Alou, who was a truly kind person with a deep belief in the power of education.
Making the Best of Working for our Students From Home
Get to know Adama, Teacher Project Coordinator
Our staff in Mali do all the hard and interesting work that our supporters make possible. They work hard — traveling rough roads, dealing with the heat, and breathing in the dust of Mali’s countryside. But they do it with grace and with a sense of purpose that comes from knowing they are helping kids just like themselves have a chance at an education. We want you to get to know these great people a bit better, so we took a recent chance to interview Adama Kone, our Teacher Project Coordinator. Please enjoy this video blog to learn more about his work with our teachers, what he's doing to fight COVID-19, and how popular Frisbee is in Mali (hint: not very).
Video Chat with Adama: Health, Teachers, & More!
Join us via video link for a chat with our wonderful Teachers’ Project Coordinator, Adama Kone. Adama coordinates our Health Project (as well as the Teachers’ Project) so he will share the latest on what we’re doing in Mali about COVID-19. This will be an interactive talk about the work and how your support makes a difference in Mali. We will talk about our work with teachers, but also the creative ways Adama is working on COVID-19 in this fast-changing situation. We will also feature a few ways you can get more involved as a volunteer. We’ll devote plenty of time to answering your questions too — feel free to ask about Mali culture, programming, or anything you are curious about.
