This document provides information about Mali and discusses improving the country's literacy rate. It notes that Mali has a literacy rate of only 46% and lacks sufficient schools and teachers. To address this, the document proposes building more schools, hiring more teachers, and establishing school bus systems. It suggests other countries could help by donating money, supplies, and teachers to support expanding education in Mali.

2.  The climate is desert, steppe and savannah
throughout the country
 The total area is 478,764
 The average temperature is 82 degrees
 Up north is the Sahara desert and south of it is
cropland/grassland
 The annual rainfall is 43.2in

3.  The main language of Mali is French and there

 The literacy rate is only 46%
 No one has computers
 Basketball, soccer, and traditional wrestling are
popular sports

4.  In 1235 King Sundiata defeats Sumanguru
 In 1324 king Mansa Musa goes on a pilgrimage
to Mecca
 In 1332 Mansa Musa dies
 A French colonization begins in 1800
 The French create a post at Bamako in 1883
 In 1925 Mali and Burkina Faso engage
 Mali becomes a republic independent country
in 1960 and gets over thrown in 1968

5. The problem that I would like to salve about
Mali is the literacy rate. The literacy rate was
only 46% as of 2012. Without a high literacy
rate, not many people can read or write. This
is bad because without those skills it is harder
to get a job. Most jobs require you to read
labels or write down things. This is a problem
in my country because there is not enough
schools/teachers.

6.  Build more schools
 Hire more teachers
 Build buses and make school systems
Regional countries can help by:
 Donating money
 Donating supplies
 Helping to build
 Giving away some teachers

7. My final solution I have chosen is to build
more schools and hire teachers for them.
Other countries can help by donating money to
help build schools and pay the teachers.
