Less than half of the population has access to potable water, leading to widespread waterborne diseases. Women bear the burden of fetching water over long distances, and agricultural activities, including market gardening, suffer during dry seasons. To address these challenges, ICMICA Africa launched the project <strong>\u201cResponding to Laudato Si through Sustainable Shea Production and Resilience Building in Touba, Diocese of San, Mali.\u201d<\/strong> The initiative aligns with Pope Francis\u2019 call for environmental stewardship and community rebuilding. Key objectives include strengthening rural advocacy for environmental protection, mobilizing communities to safeguard shea tree plantations, and enhancing shea butter production as a livelihood for women. The project also trains farmers to improve cultivation and organize for better market control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A major component of the project is improving access to clean water, and capacity-building sessions for 25 couples from Prakuy and K\u00e8n\u00e8, with Prakuy. Recognizing that access to water as a fundamental human right, the project aims to build resilience and promote sustainable livelihoods in this semi-arid region of Mali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a><strong>Distribution of 200 seedlings to the beneficiaries<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/icmica-miicafrica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/463872038_881310630771834_1162096447073109343_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icmica-miicafrica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/463872038_881310630771834_1162096447073109343_n.jpg 600w, https:\/\/icmica-miicafrica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/463872038_881310630771834_1162096447073109343_n-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Pose-photo of the participants after the opening session<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the kick off ceremony, each participant received 04 species of fruit trees (a total of 200 seedlings) to be planted in their respective gardens.
