From new books to swimsuits, from nutritious meals to laughter at the dinner table—this is what recovery with dignity looks like.

For girls who have known fear, your giving offers freedom. Every gift makes a lasting difference.

The FGM Zero team recently conducted an impactful outreach at Lolgorian, Narok County, engaging with young girls to foster motivation and reinforce the importance of education.

In collaboration with the national and county government, we earnestly hope for the enforcement of strict measures to combat FGM, allowing human rights to thrive.

FGM Zero remains unwavering in its commitment to achieving a future with zero cases of FGM. Our goal is to create a community where every girl can flourish without the shadow of harmful practices.

FGM ZERO Team Update

April 6, 2021

The FGM ZERO team initiated a research effort to gauge the prevalence of FGM within the Maasai community of Kenya. The findings revealed that girls aged 10 to 15 face the highest risk, with a significant number having either undergone or being at risk of FGM.

This discovery underscores the urgent need to raise awareness among young girls about the dangers of FGM. Many remain unaware of their rights, and there's a concerning lack of information regarding the perils associated with this harmful practice.

FGM ZERO team engaged in crucial conversations with girls aged 9 to 15, shedding light on the vulnerability of this age group to the practice of FGM. Our dialogue emphasizes the significance of reaching out to teachers if they feel in danger. Encouraged by the discussions, the girls have committed to prioritizing education, steadfastly saying NO to FGM and early marriage.
