©MAEFILMS / HI, Mali. The drought and the conflicts that ravage the region threaten the food security of populations. In Léré, HI accompanies the poor households to guarantee them a financial independence. In Mali and Mauritania, HI and its partners are implementing a project to improve the living conditions and resilience of vulnerable populations, by passing on know-how and knowledge that will improve their daily lives in a sustainable way. This four-year project will support more than 2,600 households, or about 15,000 people, thanks to the financial support of the European Union. In addition, through social cohesion and nutrition activities, the project will benefit a total of nearly 69,000 people.
