Our Aim
PROBLEMS
SLUM
DEADLOCK
- Slum residents have few rights. Most are squatters who receive little help from their governments.
- Communities refuse to pay taxes until the government provides services, and the government refuses to provide services until the communities pay taxes.
- People die of preventable diseases because of crowding and a lack of sanitation and health care.
OUR SOLUTION
Mali Health Organizing Project (MHOP) acts as a
catalyst to bring slum
residents and their governments together. When
community committees
(CCs) learn to design, implement, and evaluate
their own projects, they
invest in health and ask their governments to
do the same.
OUR GOALS
- To create the first universal primary care system in Mali with a model clinic and innovation trial center.
- To increase
government investment in health at the local
and national levels.
