The homes of Mali are exremely poor. Some houses are made out of clay, mud, wood with a hay roof, or even carved in a mountain. Imagine sitting down in your house while it was raining outside.

When the river floods, the whole enire silts part is covered in water. When that happens,every time the people go outside, they have to go in the river. They have to be excellent swimmers because they have no lifevests.
CLOTHING
The people in Mali have little to no clothing. If families don't have enough money to pay for clothing for everybody in the family, usually the adults get the
clothing. Boy children usually have no shirt and just pants. However girls get full clothing, except when they're a baby.
Cities
The cities in Mali are very poor. They don't have a very good water source, and most of the water is dirty. There are no paved sidwalks in Mali, just dirt. The roads are dirt too.
