Overview
Mission
The Wash Project partners with women growers and their communities in rural Mali to build organic gardens and the regenerative infrastructure that makes them last - guided by a commitment to food sovereignty, ecological restoration, and the long-term health of the land.
What it reported doing in 2025
Installation of rainwater harvesting footbridge, Village of M'pana -- to provide safe passage connecting villagers to critical services such as health clinics, markets and schools. Additionally, the design of the bridge is intended to slow the flow of the heavy rains that fall each year during the rainy season. This is a part of our sustainability model - if we draw water from the ground for our gardens, we must design diverse methods to return water to the ground. Total expenditure: 6,040,000fcfa = $10,982
