Textbooks in the hand of each student. Textbooks make the process of learning more efficient and have resulted in higher grades and better test results for the students of our schools.
Most Malian children cannot afford the cost of textbooks for their education and so they share a single textbook with the rest of the class. Accordingly instruction requires one student to write down all of the text from the textbook onto the chalkboard, and then every other student creates a copy for themselves by writing it all down on paper. This tedious and unnecessary task is eliminated in the schools where our generous donors have paid for textbooks to be placed, enough for each student to take home and read. Textbooks make the process of learning more efficient and have resulted in higher grades and better test results for the students of our schools.
3-room Middle Schools fit 150 students. Each is built within the village close to home for rural students.
Solar-Powered Water pumps storing water in towers for the whole community to have easy access to clean pumped water.
Perpetual Tractor Fund leases tractors/trucks to villagers. Increased yields and lending allows them to own after 5 years.
Teachers are hesitant to teach in rural Mali. Providing housing allows us to attract the nation’s best teachers.

Instead of sharing one book and copying lengthy notes off a chalk board students can read directly from their own textbook.
