ATEG IS BUILDING A FUTURE FOR IDP WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN MALI.
Escalating violence in Northern and Central Mali caused by terrorist groups, have sparked a humanitarian crisis. Thousands of Internally Displaced Persons (IPD)s who were forced to flee came to Bamako in Southern Mali, where they are living in IDP camps. ATEG has been focused on helping the IDP women and children in the Falhadie Camp. These people are living under the most deplorable living conditions. The camp is set on a garbage dump next to a livestock market. ATEG runs a number of programs to help improve their lives.

Healthcare
The children play among the rubbish, which is always being burned. Toxic fumes from the burning rubbish are causing serious respiratory illness and death among the children. The smell from the livestock market is horrible. The ATEG/Rotary clinic is sending physicians and nurses to treat these children.
