Koulouniko Water Project (Project Budget $24,000)

Koulouniko is a peculiar locality, because it is sandwiched between the sprawling city of Bamako and it's outer cliffs. In spite of the fact that it is grouped in the ward 3 of the capital district of Bamako, it suffers enormous neglect that one can hardly imagine. There are no access roads, no drinkable water, no primary school and no primary health care centre. The inhabitants say that since independence politicians came for votes, always made avalanches of promises, but no fulfilments. Their only hopes lie on service clubs of which Rotary is number 1.

The grant would be used to make a bore hole and water reservoir, it would be located at the village centre where all the villagers can have access to it. The local club will follow up and also train the local committee for supervision and maintenance of the pumps.

Bamako Road Safety (Project Budget $20,000)

Bamako is the capital district of Bamako. Inspite of the smallness of roads where the speed limit is not expected to be more than 60km per hour, road accidents are recorded every hour, due to the reckless use of road and the non respect of road safety signs and un necessary speed .

Most of these accidents are provoked by motorcyclists who , have no knowledge of road safety codes.Motocycles are many, and just like beetles every where in Bamako , because of their cheap prices, especially the cheap "jakaarta types" from China. The RC Bamako Amiti therefore wishes to partner with the voluntary youths of Bamako , who have initiated this road safety campaign project. Please join us and save lives !

Dinfara Road Project (Project Budget $17,000)

Dinfara is an isolated locality that is about a 100km from Bamako the Capital district. It is in the Commune of Ouelessebougou . A part from several amenities that the local community requires, drinkable water is the most pressing. Water related diseases are commonly found in this locality, but just before we have the means to meet other requests of aid by the locality. It is important we get the means to provide them with drinkable water.
