Our Services
Our work during this period has involved delivering menstrual care to 1700 girls. For every $40 donated, we can provide 10 girls with menstrual care essential that includes (4 packets on sanitary towels & underwear) for 1 month. By providing menstrual care for girls, we can reduce the risk of Female Genital Mutilation by ensuring that girls’ education is not interrupted due to missing school due to menstruation.
Report:
The report shares more than 1,723 girls at risk of Female Genital Mutilation in the Kuria region, rural Kenya. In this region, up to 35% of girls between the age of 9 to 18 years are subjected to Female Genital Mutilation. Although from the recent reports the number is suspected to be higher.
Female Genital Mutilation is the cutting of the female genital as a way to control the sexuality of girls and is considered a social norm in most communities.
