Welcome to Plan Mali

In the 1970s to the early 1980s, Mali faced years of serious drought, causing widespread hunger, loss of livestock and the weakening of its economy. Today, Mali is one of the world’s poorest countries.

Since the presidential election in April of 2002, stability has increased throughout Mali. As a result, the new government is now tackling the challenge of improving basic services, including health and education. As leaders in development, Plan continues to play a key role in the improvement of these services through its work with 30,000 children and their families.
