In honor of Mary Mondello

Our money is at work! Read how your donation is helping fund projects in Mali:

The projects you’re helping fund are located in three Southern districts of Mali: the San District, the Tominian District, and the Kolokani District. The San district has a population of 334,911, but only 57% have access to safe drinking water. The Tominian district is home to more than 219,000 people, 51% of whom have access to clean water. And in the Kolokani District, the situation is even more dire: only one-third of 295,598 residents have access to this basic need.

Mali is located in the Sahel, known as one of the harshest contexts in the world. Prone to droughts and floods, the long dry season and short rainy season make access to clean water particularly rare. The lack of water affects not only food production and livelihood activities but also child and maternal health.

With your help, our local partner World Vision Mali is working to change this. They’ve begun mobilizing communities to contribute local materials and labor. They’ve also begun construction of 50 new drilled wells and 30 mechanized piped systems that will distribute clean water to tap stands in communities and schools across the region. Lives are already changing for the better, and we’ve only just begun.

You're helping us expand to a new region of Mali, so the grant is a bit longer than usual. Your final report will be ready in early 2019. To keep you updated, we’ll report back to you with more news on your donation in a couple months.

Thank you for partnering with us to bring clean and safe drinking water to these communities!

A cause that are Big Sky and Remy's Kitchen staff and clientele feels strongly about!

Thank you to everyone who has helped our clean water quest so far! Your support is greatly appreciated!
