Project in Mali
Equality Now
Many women and girls in Africa are survivors of female genital mutilation (FGM), a practice that devastates young lives. The project works in 14 African countries to challenge this practice by talking to communities about the health and psychological risks and getting community leaders on board so that alternatives to this harmful practice can be found. Women are also given the confidence to know and campaign for their right to live free from this terrible practice. This project operates in 11 countries, with a spend of £35,000 in each location.
Amount Awarded: £35000
United Nations Association International Service
Vulnerable children in Africa often move to towns and cities in search of a better life, but many end up being abused and exploited. The project supports street children in Burkina Faso, Mali and Togo by teaching them to read and write and set up their own small businesses in traditional dyeing, carpentry or animal breeding. This gives them vital skills so they can move away from life on the streets. This project operates in three countries, with a spend of £178,486.67 in each location.
