Thousands of vulnerable children in Mali are forced to survive on the streets, begging daily for food and protection. For these children, access to education, healthcare, and safety is not simply out of reach—it is beyond imagination. Mali remains one of the poorest countries in the world, and many children have been orphaned by AIDS, displaced by conflict, or abandoned due to extreme hardship. Stigmatized and forgotten by society, they are exposed to constant dangers including hunger, substance abuse, exploitation, and sex trafficking, with little hope for a secure future.

Through this initiative, A Child For All (ACFA Inc.) has the opportunity to provide immediate and life-changing support to some of the most vulnerable. By raising $13,000, we can fully care for 10 vulnerable toddlers for an entire year, offering them shelter, nourishment, protection, and stability. This support will give these children something they have never known—a safe home—just in time for the holidays.

ACFA is committed to restoring dignity and hope to vulnerable children by providing a loving home, quality education, healthcare, nutritious meals, and opportunities for play, sports, and emotional healing. In 2010, ACFA welcomed 12 vulnerable children into the Bamako Children’s Home. These children arrived malnourished, frightened, traumatized, and unable to read or write. Today, every one of them is thriving—healthy, confident, and excelling academically, with many ranking among the top students in their classes. Their transformation stands as powerful evidence of what compassionate, consistent care can achieve.

Transforming the life of even one vulnerable child is a mission worth pursuing, and we have already seen how profoundly lives can change when given the right support. With your partnership, we can extend this impact to many more children by bringing them off the streets and into a permanent, nurturing environment at the Zorokoro Children’s Complex. There, they will receive holistic care and early education in newly constructed kindergarten classrooms, setting them on a path toward stability, growth, and opportunity. Your generosity can change the entire course of a child’s life—offering hope, healing, and a future filled with promise.
