President Assimi Goïta officially opened the “Maison des Pupilles” in Bamako on Sunday, a home for children whose parents died defending the country.
“Everything we are doing for our wards is the minimum a matter of justice and social equity,” he said at the ceremony.
The facility fulfills Goïta’s 2021 commitment to allocate two‑thirds of his sovereignty fund to social works.
Construction began in 2024, and the inauguration marks the most visible and symbolic realization of that promise.
The president described the initiative as both a moral duty and a shared responsibility for all Malians.
