Water Towers & Greenhouses:
Empowering Women + Transforming Communities in Mali
For 12 years, AGILE-International has worked tirelessly to make villages in Mali self-sustaining. Now, we are in the final phase of our mission—focusing on the communities of Kokelen and Sanankoroba, each home to several smaller villages.
The Challenge | Women farmers in these towns are the backbone of their communities, yet they face year-round struggles. Without access to clean water and reliable food production, families experience hunger, economic instability, and limited opportunities. After more than a decade of grassroots efforts, these communities still lack critical infrastructure to thrive independently.
The Solution | Your support can change that. By funding the construction of a water tower and a greenhouse in both Kokelen and Sanankoroba, we can provide year-round clean water, reliable food, and economic stability. These final projects will empower women farmers to feed their families, earn income, and lead their communities.
Why Your Gift Matters | This is the last 5% of a 12-year mission to make these towns fully self-sustaining.
Every donation ensures women can continue to grow food, care for their families, and strengthen their communities for generations to come.
Long-Term Impact | Completing these projects will break cycles of poverty and dependence, giving families the tools they need to thrive. By empowering women, we are empowering entire communities—and your generosity will
leave a lasting legacy of resilience across Mali.
Give Today—Or Support Year-Round | Your gift on Colorado Gives Day or any day of the year will bring clean water, food security, and opportunity to women and families who need it most.
Together, we can finish this mission and create communities that thrive for generations.

Mission
AGILE International's mission is to empower rural women in Mali and West Africa so they can restore food security and the cultural wisdom that underlies traditional sustainable agriculture.
Background Statement
Our Founder, Fatou Doumbia, born and raised in Mali, emigrated to the USA in the early 1990s. When Fatou returned to her home 17 years later, she found a different Mali. Food was more scarce, and people were living off a single meal, rather than three meals a day. Times were more desperate. They lacked food, water, adequate health care and complete education for their children. Kids were dropping out of school, girls were being pushed out of school and forced into early marriages or forced to work to earn money to complement family income. Often, girls became prostitutes and the cycle of poverty continued.
These conditions still prevail today. That's why AGILE International was founded.
