Support our Health Programs
We partner with Malians to create healthier communities through disease prevention, sanitation, nutrition and more.
Health Programs
We have active health partnerships with 25 villages in the Ouelessebougou region. These villages have Alliance-supported health agents, matrons and councils who facilitate annual health programs in their communities. A human-centered health care delivery system is the key to villagers’ success in achieving their health goals. Together we are improving the health of thousands.
Healthy Villages
We collaborate with local health workers to ensure the success of community-based public health programs.
Our healthy village workshops and health agent programs support and reinforce all our other health projects:
Preventative Health
As we work to build a sustainable healthy future in Mali, we work to meet immediate health needs
If villagers are sick they cannot work or attend school. Preventing diseases is key to ending poverty:
Emergency Relief
We quickly respond to current health issues through immediate activities to relieve suffering among the poorest.
One major immediate need is providing food and supplies to the Internal refugees who have fled violence in northern Mali to the south and the Ouelessebougou area. Read about the programs below:
Women’s Health
We empower girls & women by providing sustainable feminine hygiene solutions, reproductive health & education.
Our health programs all contain a component that supports women’s heath and we have certain focused efforts on providing resources and education to women.

Dynamic Response to Health
We are responsive to current health issues affecting the region of Ouelessebougou, particularly those that align with our health initiatives of disease prevention, sanitation and nutrition. When there is a health crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic, our Mali staff is able to implement quick-impact activities to relieve suffering and protect communities. When there is a pervasive issue like disease prevention or food insecurity, we develop locally-led projects that transform health outcomes in our partner villages and beyond. Such projects are dynamic and focused on specific health goals.
Current efforts include COVID-19 health training and awareness, emergency food relief distribution, the Integrated Mosquito Management Control and vaccination program. These reach not only our partner villages, but also the surrounding Ouelessebougou region.
