Mapping Profile For Anti-FGM Actors in Kenya​

KWCWC conducted a mapping exercise and profiled 130 Anti-FGM actors spread across the Sub-Counties, Counties and National level. The profile sought to provide ease in identification of various interventions implemented by multiple partners, and their scope of work.

The outcome included:

  • Strengthened networking and coordination by the actors
  • Enhanced response and referral mechanisms while encouraging partners to leverage on their counterparts.
  • Aided in planning and execution of community-specific interventions that promoted synergies to ensure quality assurance for all the stakeholders.

Community Sensitizations and Dialogues on ending FGM

KWCWC tackles Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) through community engagement, holding regular awareness sessions and dialogues in high-risk areas like Nairobi’s Eastleigh, Kawangware, Mukuru kwa Reuben, and Kajiado County. The programs have been made possible through donor support from USAID, and The Girl Generation. Their impactful work has already empowered thousands of beneficieries and plans are underway to expand their reach to Samburu County. To further support survivors and those at risk, KWCWC is launching a comprehensive program offering both remote and in-person counselling, alongside safe shelter provision. This holistic approach empowers individuals, fosters community understanding, and paves the way for a future free from FGM.
