Dissan, Mali (Bougouni)

Project Description

In Mali, when individuals, households, and communities have troubles, people talk with elders. Elders hold great responsibilities in rural communities across Mali, and they often serve as representatives, leaders, and adjudicators. In Dissan, when the old water pumps used to break frequently, it was village elders who determined how to raise funds for repair parts. In an effort to modestly serve the entire community as a whole, African Sky provided Crisis Management funds to Dissan Quartier Chiefs and elders. The funds are managed by the Quartier Chiefs, and they are used to meet some of the community needs which may arise throughout the year.
