Arts to End Genocide was founded in 2014 with a core mission of using the power of art to educate about human rights, and provide advocacy actions to improve the health outcomes of vulnerable children and women in the developing world.
Sponsor an IDP Child
Through the ATEG "Sponsor An IDP Child" program you can improve the lives of over 500 IDP children who are living on a garbage dump in Bamako, Mali. You can help by sponsoring one of these children at a monthly $25 recurring donor level. Or you can also support the relocation through a one-time donation. |
ATEG helped limit the spread of COVID-19 in Mali
As Covid-19 spread in Africa, ATEG committed to helping the children in Mali stay safe. To prevent Mali’s fragile healthcare system from getting overwhelmed, it was essential for them to take preventative measures. We have all been taught of the importance of hand washing. The only water that was available to the street children of Bamako was contaminated river water. So ATEG provided a new sources of clean water. We installed sinks on the exterior of the City of Children's Clinic. They are operated by foot pedals and are supplied with bars of soap. The medical staff educated the children on the importance of hand washing, social distancing and proper hygiene. ATEG also distributing mobile hand washing stations to schools and to IPD camps and supplied them with clean water. |
The City of Children's Clinic of Mali
On October, 2018 ATEG in partnership with Rotary International, brought free healthcare to the street children in Bamako, Mali. Mali is one of the world’s poorest countries and Bamako has about 6,000 street children. These children have had little, or no access to health care. During the first year of operation the clinic was able to examine and treat over 3,000 children. They are treated not only at the clinic, but the clinic physicians also travel to treat children on the streets, at Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps and at institutions for abandoned and poor children. The clinic provides street children with free medical care, comfort and a hope for their future. |
Heeling Our World
This project impacts and improves the lives of children both in the U.S. and in Africa. It addresses the plight of the 300 million children around the world who are going barefoot. This leaves them at great risk of disease and death due to the lack of footwear. In the U.S. we work with students, the faith based community and with service organizations to raise awareness and give volunteers a pathway to advocacy. At our workshops volunteers make KLEMs similar to those being made in Africa. In Africa we teach mothers and caregivers in rural villages how to make shoes for children. It is a simple design called KLEM and can be easily made by hand using locally sourced materials. |
