Malian Association for Survival in the Sahel

NGO created in 1991, AMSS took over from AFSC (Le Service Quaker) which had been operating since 1975 to support populations affected by drought through emergency aid and rehabilitation. From 1992, AMSS began to implement actions through the Goundam community development program. Subsequently, AMSS embarked on a process of diversification of interventions and even of partnership from 2001.
After two decades of consecutive droughts, faced with the constant deterioration of the ecosystem and the irreversible advance of the desert, faced with illiteracy, poverty and an unfavorable international situation, it is becoming more and more necessary and urgent that all the goodwill of the country is mobilized and organized to help our populations take charge of their own development with a view to improving their living conditions. International solidarity can only be a support for our own efforts. It is with this in mind that an apolitical, non-governmental and non-profit association was born, called: Malian Association for Survival in the Sahel (AMSS)
