Expenses since 1/2018

We are a virtually zero-overhead organization.  All money donated to Mali Medical Relief has gone to direct patient care.  Mali Medical Relief Fund is a 501(c)3 and all funds received will go directly to needy patients.  All of your donations are tax deductible.

Our organization is run on a volunteer basis and all funds received go directly to medical care, medicines and supplies.  Funds are accounted for and e-mails are sent to those who provide their address showing how the funds were spent and updated periodically here on our website.

Founded in 2008 with a simple email home, we have grown in size and impact 10 fold. From helping about 30 patients a year, we now help over 300!

Each and every day I am amazed what we are able to accomplish with so little in resources.  In the first 4 months of this year we have helped 71 patients receive emergent medical care at the national hospital. We are helping to save children’s lives everyday. Moreover, we help to save families from financial ruin by providing care at no cost to the patient.

Dr. Diallo and I attended a national conference this year to determine the next best steps for our growing organization. We hope to continue to expand our reach to help an increasing number of children.
