Help combat FGM and build a school
Donation protected
I'm a UK university student who has worked with an amazing woman called Rugiatu. A Sierra Leonean, she works as an activist to combat FGM in Sierra Leone whilst maintaining Bondo culture.
A survivor of FGM herself, Rugiatu works to prevent the practice and build schools in the place of Bondo bushes - private enclosures near the village where FGM is carried out. Within her campaigning, she works with women and communities to educate about the harmful practice and promote female education.
Rugiatu is currently working to build one of these schools - whilst she has secured a majority proportion of the funds, she really needs our help.
To provide tables, desks and blackboards in 5 classrooms of 20, she needs £1800.
I've had the pleasure to work with Rugiatu and the work she does is incredible. I'm asking for your help in supporting a locally-led project that will make direct use of anything you donate.
The fight to end FGM is a crucial one - no girl should ever be subjected to such a practice. To help end FGM and support women's education, please consider donating as much as you can!
Thank you to everyone who gets involved - from both myself and Rugiatu.
