Mali

World Vision responded to drought in Mali in 1975, opened an office in 1982, and began sponsorship programs in 1988. Since then, some of World Vision’s major accomplishments have included:

• Digging freshwater wells to provide a source of clean, safe water in the late 1970s.
• Providing food to famine survivors and malnourished children during the 1980s.
• Reducing the high mortality rates of children through immunizations and improved nutrition throughout the 1990s.
• Developing education and health systems and providing microfinance assistance in the 21st century.
