Project Description
Unpredictable rainfall, endemic poverty, and challenging growing environments sometimes create insurmountable debts for farming families who depend on agricultural production for food and trade money.
Every year, Executive Director Scott Lacy consults 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 2007, Dissan elders and Markala local/African Sky Board Member Tamba Traore assisted 19 households experiencing emergency food crisis and/or debt crises from agricultural loans.
