End Female Genital Mutilation in 9 schools, Kenya

Dear Friend and Esteemed Partner,

Greetings and Happy New Year 2023!

We begin this year with hope and renewed enthusiasm. It is a pleasure for me to report that looking at just one year, we reached over 2 million radio listeners with anti-fgm messaging, 200 youths with additional 45 youth ambassadors, over 1000 online participants, and supported 24 women with over 5000 USD loans from our HFAW kitty to empower them escape GBV and even sanitized girls and women from jiggers. That is only but a few to mention in summary.  None of these could have been possible without your generous donations. Today, I take this time as Founder of HFAW to thank you so much individually and specially for every one of your contribution. THANK YOU! Thank you especially to all our recurring donors.  You could have chosen another way to use your money but you chose HFAW. Thank you.

I began HFAW out of a passion to end a heinous practice of which I survived among the Abagusii community.  There are no words to explain how critical it is to safe even just ONE child from a knife. This FGM practice is not just painful, it is devastating. As a woman, nothing can shut you up as FGM.  I am so proud of you, to have believed in my team(Jennifer, Joyce, Gladys, Teresia and myself )  with your donation. Because your money does save lives. We still have so many parents cutting their girls but we have also saved so many from the knife. That means so much to these girls and women and to me personally.

This year, we have recruited many campus students to do more grassroots work, read the 120 health promoter report for more details( . We won’t do much without your support. Please share with your friends and family to let them know why you care about HFAW and why they can consider making a donation. Meanwhile, review several of the heartwarming photos showing a little bit of the work you supported across the year.

Thank you and with gratitude
