About the building
Timbuktu’s earthen saints’ mausoleums were rebuilt after their destruction during the 2012 occupation. UNESCO’s project account describes reconstruction led with local custodians and masons, alongside training to sustain traditional maintenance skills.
The project
Long-term earthen-building maintenance and transmission of masonry skills, subject to current priorities established by local custodians.

The reconstruction is completed, and the case-study platform is credited 2021; this is not a live rebuilding appeal. Security, travel and permissions require current local advice.
