Tahanint N’Massinag e-Tinbuktu, abbreviated as TNT-Mali, whose name means in Tamashek ‘‘The merciful grace of God for Timbuktu”, is a humanitarian action and development NGO founded on June 28, 1999 in Timbuktu by Pastor Nouh Ag Infa YATTARA, with the following purposes:
- To help Christians in northern Mali keep the torch of Christ burning despite intense pressure from increasingly violent Islam. Eight (8) out of ten (10) converts return to Islam as a result of persecution ranging from marginalization to banishment to all kinds of humiliation, social and even professional pressure;
- Help them to survive and carry high the torch of Christ in the North of Mali in full window 10/40, (border with Mauritania, Algeria, Burkina Faso and with the South of Mali – Arabo-Tuareg, black African). Timbuktu is 5th in the rank of cities considered as the most Islamic in the world after Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, and Kairouan;
- Entering or leaving the cities of the North is a challenge. Thousands of children do not go to school, famine is rife everywhere and impoverishment is growing. This situation has a strong influence on Christians in the North and jeopardizes the ministry;
