With this project, we aim to reduce the FGM practices and school dropout in targeted areas in Bombali and Tonkolili districts.
The first phase of this project started in October 2020 has kept so far 600 girls safe from this practice. The program also includes information and advice in schools and villages, so it also works towards reducing violence in all the families involved.
