Conflict in the north of Mali, the entrenchment of armed groups and the spread of instability has led to increased humanitarian suffering across the region.
The human impact is evident: 30,000 people are reported to have been displaced by recent combat, adding to the 345,000 Malians who have been displaced already over the last year. Across the region, vulnerable communities struggling to host them.
In Burkina Faso, we aim to reach over 290,000 people, including some 77,000 refugees, with water and public health work, food, cash for work activities, animal health and food programs for pastoralist communities, and assistance to refugees from Mali.

Summer is curious

Summer is one of two Jersey calves rescued from auction by Animal Place.
Both are the by-product of the dairy industry, where male dairy calves are taken from their moms the day the are born and sent to auction a few days later.
Summer has some health issues, is underweight and has an uphill battle ahead of him. We will do everything to keep him healthy.
