As sanctions hit Mali, the costs of everyday items such as food are expected to rise. This will be particuarly detrimental to Malians living in urban areas such as Sikoro as most people rely on buying food rather than subsistence agriculture. Many will not be able to afford the increased prices in food and food insecurity is expected to rise in 2022.
GAIA Vaccine Foundation provides weekly meals at Hope Center Clinic for clinic patients and others in the Sikoro community. The program provides a stable source of nutritious food in Sikoro, which is especially important for clinic patients and HIV+ individuals.
In 2021, the Nutrition and Peer Support for HIV+ Patients programs served 3,403 meals. 1,626 of these were for children.
With your support, GAIA VF can provide even more meals to Sikoro in 2022, something that is especially important given the current sanctions.
Thank you for your support to GAIA Vaccine Foundation!
