A Child For All is entirely volunteer-run, with only grassroots staff in Mali receiving salaries. All of the money received goes directly towards operations in Mali.

We are relentlessly working to secure food, clean drinking water, education, healthcare and shelter to the growing number of vulnerable children in Mali, Africa.

None of this is possible without you! Your gifts bring hope to children in Mali. Make a one-time donation, become a monthly donor, or contribute to our cause in other ways.

frequently asked questions

  • Every donation goes a long way. Your donation pays for the monthly expenses for nutritional food, school tuition, at home tutoring, vocational training, books and supplies, access to healthcare, taekwondo and other sports activities, clothing and toiletries for the children and maintenance of the two facilities where we provide safe shelter to our children: The Bamako Children’s Home and the Zorokoro Children’s Complex.

  • Vulnerable children often live on the streets of Mali, Africa and are exposed to hunger, drugs, prostitution, robbery, and other criminal activities. They are mostly abandoned by parents or may have parents who are incapable of taking care of them due to poverty or poor mental health.

  • Currently, we have 28 vulnerable children in our care full-time, and support an additional 110 children at the school in Zorokoro Children’s Complex for a total of 138 children. 135 of these children are 4-9 years old, and 3 are teenagers who have been in our care for 10+ years. Our goal is to be able to expand and support as many vulnerable children in Mali as we can. Let’s do this together!

  • We love staying in touch with our community. After all, you make everything we do possible. Look out for updates on our website and through our social media accounts. Most importantly, we encourage you to take a trip to Mali to see firsthand the impact of your contributions in the lives of these children. We promise you that it will be the most rewarding trip ever.
