ECOVA MALI is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide Malian farmers with the resources they need to initiate or expand their own agricultural enterprises that increase food security and economic development at the grassroots level while using environmentally sustainable methods. We accomplish this through the provision of peer-to-peer training opportunities with Malian experts and access to financial assistance in the form of mini-grants and micro-loans.
Since establishing this fundraising site we have raised over $2,500. We are excited to announce that we have received a grant to purchase land and construct a permanent field office and training center in Mali from LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics. However, this grant does not include funds to pay for trainers or to use in our micro-loan and mini-grant programs. That's where you come in! Our current goal is to raise $6,000. We will use 1/2 of this money to pay for trainers and offset other training costs. The other 1/2 will be used for our micro-loan program. Please check out our website http://www.ecovamali.org and encourage your friends family members and colleagues to support us. Every donation counts.
Thanks so much!
