WaterAid | Daniel O'Leary WaterAid | Mali In Mali only half of the population have safe water and 46% of people have sanitation. WaterAid works in five of Mali's eight regions and in the capital Bamako with seven partner organisations helping to provide community tapstands, hand-dug wells and latrines to marginalised people. Women in particular are empowered through soap-making and micro credit schemes. WaterAid has mapped the existing water and sanitation services in all 703 local government areas, allowing the areas most in need to be prioritised. WaterAid also focuses on poor water supply and sanitation in slum areas and lobbies for increased funding for water and sanitation. Find out more about WaterAid in Mali.(c) WaterAid 2008 |
