To donate to the Mali Association of Culture and Hope, you can submit a donation online by clicking on the 'Donate' button on the right hand side of the screen, or click here for mailing instructions.


To fully fund the activities for a month costs around $650, but the center operates on whatever level of funding is available. Regardless, many children, including course graduates, still show up hungry and in need of food, making the need for donations as important as ever.

In order to continue our operations, the immediate needs include:
    Food
    Transport
    Materials and Equipment
    Rent and Services
    Staff remuneration


Moreover, We would like to be able to provide accomodation (emergency and/or permanent) for some of the children, so we need to look for a suitable building to rent. This would not only provide shelter to those who need it most, but also a better environment for teaching art, which is currently taught on the street outside our building. We are also hoping to develop income generating outlets in Bamako for the textiles made by students, enabling them to sell their drapes and throws, as well as smaller items, in order to make a living for them and their families..
