Mali Rising's Health Project & COVID-19

By Merritt Frey, Executive Director

Yesterday on the blog, I introduced just the tip of the iceberg of the new, creative strategies the staff in Mali are tackling in order to help our students in Mali during the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, we hear directly from Mali Rising’s Teacher Project Coordinator, Adama Kone.

Adama leads our work with teachers, but he also directs our Health Project. As a result, Adama is on the front lines of figuring out how to best help our students. He has developed lessons about protecting oneself from infection and is delivering them via local radio stations that can reach into our little village. Adama is also coordinating the delivery of hand-washing stations in villages, and working to make sure our teachers have good, solid health information.

Want to help Adama? For just $25, you can underwrite a health broadcast on the radio. For $50, you can provide a hand-washing station for a village. And for $100, you can underwrite the delivery of health handouts to the families of an entire village school. Donate here to keep our students healthy.
