||  Hello my name is Suzanna and I'm doing a report on UNICEF in Mali. UNICEF is a nonprofit organization that works in over 160 countries around the world to improve the lives of children and their mothers. In each reigon of the world UNICEF focus on at least two main things. In most of Africa its HIV/AIDS and the child survival rate. ||

|| [|Mali Map] || 

Mali is very poor and has many problems. Mainly a deadly famine; HIV/AIDS; and a very high infant mortality rate (104 infants out of every 1,000 die in Mali). Mali is also experiencing thousands of cases of guinea worm anually and there is inequality between men and women. UNICEF is trying to adress all of these problems. || || [|Famine in Mali] ||  UNICEF and Mali's government have been working together to help with the widespread famine Mali is currently experiencing. They have been providing food and medicine to the children in Mali. Children are suffering the most from this crisis because at a young age children need more nutrition and protein to help them grow strong and healthy. ||

|| [|Mali Couple] || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> UNICEF has also been working toward equality among men and women in Mali. The number of girls is still far lower then the number of boys enrolled in school in Mali. Most girls stay at home and do chores like cooking and preparing meals for the rest of the family. Most women in Mali are illiterate. This is mainly because women are not educated to read and write since those things are not needed for housework. UNICEF has launched their "All Girls To School" campaign, which has helped establish more equality among girls and boys in the schools enrollment. ||

|| [|Children in Mali] || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Like in many other African countries HIV/AIDS has been killing many in Mali. Many of Mali's children now know how to protect themselves from the virus because of a school program that UNICEF helped to provide which has reached thousands of children. Also UNICEF and WFP (World Food Programme), have agreed to work together to help Mali's population with HIV/AIDS. WFP and UNICEF are educating the population on their response and prevention of HIV/AIDS. ||

|| [|Straw Filters] || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Another big problem in west and central Africa is the Guinea worm. The worm is very small and is found in dirty drinking water. Once the worm is swallowed it goes into your stomach and basically eats what you eat so your not getting the nutrition and the things you need from your food. Most of Africa has gotten rid of the worm but Mali still has thousands of cases each year. UNICEF has sent many teams to Mali to help with this problem. In the picture there are girls using their "straws" which contain a filter to stop the guinea worm from being swallowed. These are being distributed through out Mali. ||

Not only in the programes and ways of teaching but also the condition of the class rooms and resources used. Many of Mali's classrooms use slates and chalk. Most of the schools don't have air conditioning or many of the things schools here in America have. Another large problem is that the classrooms are too small and the number of students is too high. Often four or more children have to use one book and all sit in desks that were made for two. Another thing is that since there are so many students and usually only one teacher, many of the children don't get the attention they need. This classroom has a rather small number of students compared to most other Mali classrooms. ||

|| [|Children As Mothers] || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Another huge concern in Mali is the Infant mortality rate. Mali has the 7th highest Infant mortality rate in the world, 104 out of 1,000. There are a couple main causes for this. One is not enough nutrition in their first year. Another reason is a lack of sanitation and not enough medical care if needed. Another cause is the Mali tradition of early marage, meaning maried before 15. UNICEF has been trying to adress this for a while. This is a very big problem because if you have a child at the age of 18 or under there is a 60% chance that the child will die with in its 1st year than if the mother was 19 or older. And not only is the percentage better for the child's survival if the mother is older, it is also better for the mother's survival as well. ||
