Project Details
Unpredictable rainfall, endemic poverty, family illnesses, and challenging growing environments
sometimes create food shortages and insurmountable debts for farming families who depend on
agricultural production for food and trade money.
Every year, African Sky Directors Scott Lacy, Yacouba Sangare, and Tamba Toure consult with elders,
village leaders, and youth leaders (male and female) to discuss critical issues confronting the Dissan
(Bougouni Region) and Markala (Segou Region) communities. These discussions help African Sky
distinguish households in extreme crisis suffering from food insecurity. In 2009, African Sky provided
critical assistance to eight farming families suffering from food insecurity. Each of these households
received assistance in January and in June 2009.
