The September Campaign is over, but you can still give clean water.
September Campaign 2020
In the West African country of Mali, the threat of COVID-19, a recently-destabilized government, and an escalating climate crisis have made the need for clean water more urgent than ever.
“We’ve heard some poignant stories: Entire villages having disappeared. We’ve seen people go blind digging wells. People have died going out in search of water. It’s been very difficult for women.”
– Fatou Bintou Gariko
WASH Specialist, World Vision Mali
But for families in rural Mali,
this ancient problem has an incredibly modern solution.
Working in Mali requires expertise and long-standing local leadership. We’re proud to support two organizations with years of experience in delivering water, sanitation, and hygiene to communities in need.

“Only 57% of the communities have access to clean water. This low rate requires immediate action to be taken. With my skills, I am contributing to clean water supply for local populations.”
“I have decided to do this job because I'm a woman. As a woman, I can easily persuade people, especially women in rural areas, to adopt the best hygiene and sanitation practices for their families.”

“When I started working with World Vision, everything changed for me. I saw the difference our work makes in the lives of others, and it changed how I approach my work. Seeing the impact of my work is a strong motivator and encourages me to continue on this path.”
“My parents come from a village, and during vacations, I would go see them. I saw how difficult it was to access water there, and women had to walk very far uphill. It’s exhausting. There were almost no toilets, either. That’s what pushed me to work in community development, to serve my country and the children who experience today what I did before. It’s my passion to help them.”
