Health Project
Semana
Provide villagers with increased health through eye, ear, and feminine hygiene care
Semana’s growing public access to healthcare supplies
Semana is a remote village about 80 kilometers south of the capitol city, Bamako. There are roughly 4,300 villagers, and a large school with over 920 students. Health is a primary concern for the Semana village. The water contained Coliform bacteria, and many adults and children have diarrhea. Basic principles of sanitation and hygiene were not taught or practiced.
The Mali Wellness Foundation trained the village and students in basic clean water, food preparation, hand washing, personal hygiene, and other sanitary practices.
