Vaccinate Children and Prevent NINE Diseases

We have gathered our final data on vaccinations for the Ouelessebougou Alliance 2021-2022 fiscal year and the results are staggering. Thanks to you, 12,000 children ages 0-5 have been vaccinated against nine life-threatening diseases including polio, yellow fever, measles, and more. In addition to the children, 2,600 expectant mothers received maternal immunizations, helping our cause even further. One in ten children born in Mali passes away by the age of five years old. Our immunization efforts are helping to reduce that number, one vaccine at a time.

Thanks to your generosity and our partnership with the Ouelessebougou health district, these vaccines are provided completely free of charge to the children and mothers receiving them. Even those who live in small, isolated villages receive vaccines from a traveling healthcare worker who brings the vaccines on his or her motorcycle across the rough terrain. Small groups of mothers and children meet under the village mango tree to receive their vaccines. Thousands of others gather in rural health centers to become vaccinated. Their immunization card is one of the few pieces of paper they save and safeguard. They have learned to understand the critical importance of regular vaccines.

All of us at Ouelessebougou Alliance thank you for your generosity in this life-saving effort. Thanks to your donations, we have achieved record success in saving children’s lives in Mali. With just 42 days left in 2022, please donate today and help us raise an additional $1,650 to reach our project goal of $40,000 by the end of the year. No amount is too small. Help give the gift of LIFE. Thank you.

Since our last report, our hard working employees in Mali were able to distrubute several life saving vaccinations. In March, we successfully vaccinated a total of 2,976 people! Of those, 817 were pregnant women and 82 children. Thanks to all of your generous donations, 2,976 people are less likely to contract polio, yellow fever, measles, and more. 

Our vaccination program is vital for many of the communities we serve. These vaccinations enable people to live longer and healthier lives. The vaccinations we provide are free of charge for children. One of the goals that we have for our vaccination program is to ensure that children under five are able to receive vaccinations. Children under five are one of the groups that are most at risk for contracting these life threatening diseases. By getting these vaccinations, they are more likely to survive into adulthood. 

Thank you for your contrubutions toward this project! Together, we can help people receive life saving vaccinations.
