More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
The Mali government cannot afford to fund the educational needs in the rural villages of Ouelessebougou. Most teachers were initially trained in the manner of the French colonial schools—rote memorization, corporal punishment, etc. Village teachers need essential ongoing training to provide quality education for village children. School attendance continues to increase each year. More than 500 girls are now attending school--an opportunity their mothers never had!
Activities
Teachers receive ongoing training from staff and government education programs, all funded by the Alliance. Teachers are paid approximately $65/month. The Alliance pays a portion; the villagers pay the rest (about 75 cents per child).
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $911
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $29,089
Total Funding Goal: $30,000
Additional Documentation
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Education has only been available to children in these 12 rural villages since the Alliance’s involvement in 1986. 1,528 students are now going to school, an opportunity most of their parents never had. Students continue to progress each year.
Project Message
“Before the school came, our village was in darkness; after the school came, we came into light.”
- Sena, Village chief

Latest Update from the Field
200 new students to start school this year!
By Jodie Jensen - Program Director, August 13, 2008 04:27 PM
When I heard from our field staff that we need 50 new benches for our schools, I was discouraged, thinking that our benches were falling apart. When they told me that it is because we have up to 200 new students entering our classrooms in the fall, I was overjoyed! More students means more supplies, more teachers and more training needed. We're excited for this new challenge because we can see the profound impact it will have on these 200 students.
