Hundreds of thousands have become homeless.   • Where there is fighting, fields are not cultivated. Armed groups have burned harvests. A food shortage has exacerbated malnutrition. Nearly one-third of children under five suffer from impaired growth and development.   • Children are traumatized by violence. Some have been found hiding in houses out of fear – left to fend for themselves without food or water. 2.5 million children have dropped out of school and are unlikely to return.   What is CARE’s work in Mali: Since 1975, we’ve been helping women and children secure food, earn opportunities, and access education. Our work also combats FGM, child labor, and human trafficking. Why is Mali not in the news: It’s not your fault the news has blind spots.
