Mali – Kids in school

By Ben on Monday, March 16th, 2009

While we were in Bamako we asked about school in Yiri Madgos, the area where the Workshop is. Some of the kids do go to school, but for others it is too expensive.

A month in school costs 2,000cfa, which works out about £3. The price shocked me – I’d expected it to be much higher. And the realisation we could help so many people out for less than a pint a month (London prices!) was amazing. Now I need to find a way to convince other people that it’s a good idea!

To start pushing the idea I am working with an artist from Brighton to design a new flier which I am hoping to push into clubs around London to try and tap into that market – any ideas for support help or contacts would be greatly appreciated.

And if you would like to sponsor a child in Mali then please let me know. You can email me on ben@africanworkshop.org.

All the best
