After years of collaboration in the Dogon area in Mali, three foundations have come together under a single name. As of 1 January 2017, Foundation Dogon Education (SDO), Stichting Bloemendaal Dogon (SBD) and the Dogon Women Initiative (DVI) will together continue under the name ‘Partners Pays Dogon’.
Our shared collaboration with ADI in Mali will remain ever so close: ADI brings forward initiatives, and we support them in different ways from the Netherlands.
We do not solve problems, but train individuals who do. We do not hand out for free, but develop. There can be no waterpump without an owner, or school without educational system. Local leadership, that is what we are about.
That is sustainable development.
