During COVID-19 and this moment of political transition in Mali, our work continues. These challenges present more obstacles to ensuring that every mother and child has access to quality healthcare. Please, if you can, we hope you will contribute, or buy a bar of soap, and together we will help make sure families and health centers have the essential resources they need to stay healthy, always.
Mali Health helps communities improve the health of mothers and children.
We have a vision for how communities can ensure access to high-quality healthcare within their local health system, and for how even the poorest communities in Mali can achieve health for all.
BUILDING A COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEM 
Mali’s decentralized health system presents many challenges, and many opportunities. When we help communities manage their resources to improve the quality and availability of maternal and child healthcare in their health centers, the results are astounding. By supporting community members, we help the health system to function the way it was designed to – with full community participation and local ownership.
