“Can you bring some medicine?
I can't be a doctor without medicine.”

These are the words that inspired the creation of Medicine for Mali. After working in the remote village of Nana Kenieba, Mali, with no medicine available to help babies suffering from fevers, infections and malaria; Dr. Elise DeVore rode six hours in the back of a vegetable truck to send this message to her father in Des Moines.

Dr. Steven DeVore accepted this mission and founded Medicine for Mali in 2000.  For the past seven years, Medicine for Mali has provided life-saving medical services, development aid, public health services and education opportunities for a remote community of 8,000 Malians living in one of the world’s poorest countries.  Medicine for Mali programs are created with an emphasis on sustainability and in collaboration with local Malian resources.

We invite you to learn more about our programs, goals and accomplishments.  We are a collaborative and diverse team of volunteers with expertise in medicine, engineering, education, construction, media, business and marketing.  Our organization relies solely on private donations and we are always open to creating new partnerships in our quest to improve the lives of those we serve.

Medicine for Mali is a nonprofit organization. We are dedicated to bringing medical services, clean water, improved educational opportunities and economic development to the people of Mali.
