My adventure at ALIMA
I joined the ALIMA team in January 2024. A month and a half later, I was lucky enough to go on a mission to Mali and then to Burkina Faso. Despite my fatigue, and spurred by my passion for storytelling, I continued my journey across the Senegal River into Mauritania. In just a few weeks, I was able to get to the heart of our work. Instead of just key figures on paper, I saw people. Beyond funding, I found the real support that my colleagues provide. And in place of logical frameworks, I saw landscapes, villages, and towns.
3 Questions for Dr. Pierre Claver Nsavyimana, ALIMA Project Coordinator in Brakna, Mauritania
ALIMA is currently implementing three projects that cover 91 of the 95 health facilities in the region. The interventions primarily focus on addressing issues related to malnutrition, maternal and child health, as well as responding to health emergencies and natural disasters (including floods).
13 humanitarian organizations unite to encourage innovation in fighting malnutrition
ALIMA, along with 12 other humanitarian organizations, signed a letter to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) commending its commitment to the fight against malnutrition, and proposing steps to make this investment the basis for long-term, life-saving solutions.
Do you have what it takes to be a humanitarian aid worker?
That’s the question ALIMA is asking in a new quiz inviting people across the world to take up the challenge of COVID-19 vaccination in Africa! This fun and instructive quiz, combined with a digital photo exhibition, explains how ALIMA is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic: going directly to some of the most vulnerable communities and giving them access to the vaccine, despite all challenges.
In Mauritania, ALIMA brings COVID-19 vaccinations closer to vulnerable populations
Mauritania has one of the highest immunization rates in sub-Saharan Africa, yet there are isolated and remote communities that are unlikely to access vaccination. To reduce these inequities, ALIMA supports the deployment of mobile teams that travel to villages to meet the population and vaccinate them directly on site.
