In 2012, the abuses committed by several armed groups in northern Mali forced its people to flee their homes and take refuge elsewhere in the country. Now that the situation has stabilized, many are returning. To help returnees reintegrate into their living environment and to foster peaceful coexistence between communities, Sahel 21, a Terre Sans Frontières subsidiary in Mali, is supporting a shelter and infrastructure program in collaboration with the UN Refugee Agency.
