Mali
Mali is a country that is landlocked in West Africa, mostly in the Sahelian and Saharan regions, making it mostly flat and arid. There is a huge growth in the urban areas of Mali, making those 15 years of age and younger the prominent age group among the people. The population of Mali is over 22,000,000 people. Mali is a nation that is predominantly Muslim and is incredibly volatile for Christians right now. Christians risk being persecuted and even murdered for their faith. In recent years, Mali has experienced great unrest due to military coups, the last one being in 2021. In addition, Mali faces a high mortality rate among children due to malnutrition and desertification. In fact, approximately 10% of children five and under will not survive. Within Mali, there are 73 people groups, with 43 of those still unreached. And less than 1% of the population are Christians.
