Send girls in Kenya at risk to FGM to school
Organization information

Summary
In Samburu County where FGM and child marriage are still practiced, we created a scholarship to send girls at risk to these practices to secondary school and provide them with training to become anti-FGM and anti-child marriage ambassadors. We provide the girls with life skills training, reproductive health education, training on convincing her family and peers to give up the harmful traditional practices, and a "dignity kit" filled with hygiene essentials so they feel their best at school.
