Learn how education can make a huge difference in a child’s life and lead them to live a more meaningful life.
Fighting Poverty Through Education Since 2010
Back in 2010, we looked around and saw the intense need for education and healthcare in the Emerging countries of the world. Beginning with the poverty in Mali, Africa, and through a partnership with friends in Bamako, we started a medical clinic, which we supplied with a doctor and medication. In 2017, we partnered with the University of Houston College of Technology and built a portable twenty-foot solar-powered computer classroom, which was shipped to Bamako and is currently being utilized in Mopti, Mali. Because of this learning classroom, the children of Mopti are being exposed to new technology.
We realized that while food and medicine are necessary for survival, access to education is the only thing that changes a life forever. We couldn’t stand by and watch talent go to waste. We started the Mali Nieta Foundation to prove that if you remove the financial hurdles, a child in a rural village can achieve just as much as a child in a big city.
Scholarships That Build a Legacy
Our mission has evolved into something unique. We don’t just act as a traditional education
charity that hands out money; we are building a family. We identify disadvantaged students who have the drive to succeed but lack the funds, and we provide the financial aid they need to get into the classroom and stay there.
But we ask for one thing in return: a promise. Every student we sponsor commits to our “Pay It Forward” model. This means that once they graduate and find success, they will help fund the education of the next student in line. We are turning a one-time donation into a scholarship that keeps on giving, ensuring the community lifts itself for generations to come.
Today, as an education charity, we don’t just write a check; we are building a family of givers who look out for each other.
Founded in 2010, our goals are to:
Your gift is more than just money, it is funding a home. When you donate or give monthly, you
are taking a child out of danger and welcoming them into a safe family. In Africa, your support
gives a child a warm bed in our dorms, three healthy meals a day, and clean drinking water.
When a child is healthy, they stop worrying about survival and start dreaming about tomorrow.
In the schools in the United States, your gift will help provide tuition and school supplies to
expand the minds of inquisitive students. Your generosity gives them the one thing everyone
deserves: the chance to grow and mature safe and strong.
