We are all joined together as one in this worthy mission. Each of us is essential to the whole. And every Donor advances our GOAL, which is to save the Ancient Manuscripts of Mali, and thereby improve Global Harmony and Understanding.

THE URGENCY
If preservation is not undertaken immediately, the ravages of the Sahara sands, losses due to theft, fire, destruction, weather, poor storage, and time itself, will forever usurp this critically important cultural, literary and human legacy. Those who possess the deepest understanding of the Manuscripts’ contents, and have inherited and retained the ancestral knowledge and practices of these writings, are a dying breed. Sacred buildings are vanishing as well, including the 14th Century Timbuktu University, once the center of learning for all of Africa, and deemed a World Heritage Site “in danger” by UNESCO.
