One of the poorest countries in the world, Mali ranks 182 out of 188 on the United Nations Human Development Index. Much of the poverty is driven by drought or war. And because its economy is not diverse, it is quite vulnerable to fluctuations and falls.
But the people of Mali remain resilient through it all, using the resources available to them to cope and thrive through the difficult times.
Islamic Relief USA is working with communities in Mali to aid vulnerable families suffering from food insecurity and livelihood issues.
Here’s just a sampling of recent efforts for families in need across Mali
