Since 2006, Instruments4Africa (I4Africa) has been working to empower atrisk youth in Mali, through diverse cultural and educational experiences. We facilitate the preservation of the traditional practices that promote intercommunity communication, awareness and conflict resolution. We create spaces where people listen to and learn about each other, building relationships of respect and communities of cooperation, and we organize events that help mend the social fabric through shared artistic expression.

Citizen movements are the driving force behind transformation in the Sahel, that’s why I4Africa, works directly in the remote and isolated communities close to the heart of the insecurity, to support community led events, and search for solutions to local and global challenges.
