Our association started with the minimum of materials. Our needs are escalating. Below is the list of some of the equipment needed to keep us functioning.
- One diesel water pump to pull water from the river, to water the field and the vegetable garden
- Two well pumps fro the village's daily water needs
- Some solar panels to produce electricity
- A farm tractor with turn plow to clear the brushwood up and eventually construct a road leading the village to the market where the villagers sell the produce from the garden
- A steel plow for the field
- Two cows to pull the plow
- Some wire netting to fence in the two hectares field and the garden to protect the crop from animal destruction
- A small truck to transport the produce harvested from the field and the garden to the market place in good condition
- Some livestock farming products
- A boat engine to navigate the river

The Association "Olivier Keita's Garden," Village of Goualabougou, Mali, West Africa
http://jardindolivierkeita.blogspot.com
The association "Olivier Keita's Garden" has been created in October, 2008, in the village of Goualabougou in Mali, West Africa by Angele Souko, the President under the number 0952010644 by the prefecture of the city of Sarcelles, France.
The association began with the construction of two schools made from clay. Before finishing the school, we started teaching classes anyway. The first day of class started with only six girls and six boys in a forty foot container transformed into a classroom. Now that the school construction is finished, twenty six girls and twenty six boys are attending. The construction of the second school is moving along rapidly.
The association is comprise of sixty women who are working in a two hectare field. We planted about one hundred fruit trees (mangoes, banana, orange and palm), and eight hundred eucalyptus trees. We also have a vegetable garden in which we are growing vegetables such as tomatoes, salads and onions.
We have dug two wells, constructed a meeting hall for the youth for their meeting regarding the village's future problems.
For the first time in the village, our contribution of 50,000 FCA allowed us to celebrate women's day on March 8.
