Inclusion and Autonomy for AMALDEME Youth

For over 40 years, AMALDEME has been supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities in Mali.
Despite these efforts, many trained young people are unable to practice a trade, due to a lack of equipment, guidance, or initial funding.

The “Hand in Hand” project addresses this urgent need by creating a vocational training and insertion workshop.
Its goal is to help each young person acquire practical skills and gain economic independence in a caring and inclusive environment.
The collected funds will be used to:
-Rehabilitate and equip a multi-purpose workshop (sewing, carpentry, urban gardening).
-Purchase training and production materials adapted to participants’ needs.
-Train and compensate specialized instructors and educators.
-Implement a monitoring and evaluation system to measure progress and impact.

Every contribution directly supports the dignity, confidence, and future of young people with intellectual disabilities.
