I’m going to tell you the story of Dougoudouma, a village where life is good. Usually stories and tales start with “once upon a time”. But our story takes place in 2022!

Je vais vous raconter l’histoire de Dougoudouma, le village où il fait bon vivre. En général les histoires et les contes commencent par « il était une fois ». Ici par contre notre histoire se passe en 2022 ! Nous l’avons créée avec une collègue d’UNICEF à Bamako lors d’une réunion fondatrice de Malicompétence,…
