Donation campaign: 2 new off-road vehicles for Guinea-Bissau

Imam Aladje Seco from the TARGET team found clear words in a radio broadcast in Guinea-Bissau on February 6, the International Day against Female Genital Mutilation: "Fanado (creole: female genital mutilation) has no place in the Muslim religion and must be abandoned because it causes great harm to the health of girls and women."

With this strong statement, we are launching the next awareness campaign in Guinea-Bissau for an end to female genital mutilation. To do this, we need two new cars to reach the most remote communities - with TARGET's Golden Book and illustrative educational brochures to protect girls and women from this bloody practice.

The campaign focuses on training and supporting committed multipliers. Young people, women, village chiefs and imams have come forward as a result of our previous work on the ground to motivate people in their villages and neighboring communities to end fanado with their own events. This ever-present intervention reaches residents directly and infiltrates the message into their everyday lives.

We say THANK YOU for your donation, which makes this project possible in the first place.
