Empowering Children and Communities in Mali
Ouelessebougou Alliance Mission
Ouelessebougou Alliance (OA) works in partnership with villagers to transform the quality of life in the Ouelessebougou region of Mali by delivering sustainable programs in health and education. The West African nation of Mali is landlocked and one of the least developed countries in the world. Villagers in rural communities face daily challenges of extreme poverty. OA is committed to assist the people of Mali through a long-term development relationship. OA’s purpose is two-fold:
• To work in partnership with village citizens to achieve their
community development objectives in the areas of health
and education.
• To cultivate globally minded citizens in Utah by providing
opportunities for students and community members to learn
about the Malian culture, history, and position in the global
community.
Ouelessebougou Alliance Programs
Education
Each day schools in our partner villages around Ouelessebougou educate hundreds of future leaders who will make a difference for their families, communities, and country.
Read about our many incredible education programs!
Women’s Health
When a woman is ill, she is not able to fetch water, tend crops, cook, or care for her children.
Through our preventative health programs, women learn healthy principles to stay well & then pass this knowledge to their children.
Emergency Relief
In 2019, thousands of internal refugees fled their homes due to violence in the North & resettled in the Ouelessebougou Region. We give them some of the immediate resources they need to help start their lives over in Ouelessebougou.
