    Who we are

    Light A Girl Initiative is a grassroots, not-for-profit, community-based organization (CBO) committed to ending all forms of gender-based violence (GBV), including female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), as well as child marriage and teen pregnancies. The organization also advocates for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), supports the emotional wellbeing of FGM survivors, and empowers women and girls through education and health initiatives.

    Our Presence

    We focus our efforts in the counties of Elgeyo Marakwet, West Pokot, Baringo, and Samburu—regions where communities continue to grapple with deeply rooted practices such as female genital mutilation (FGM) and early marriages.

Help us create awareness and end FGM in Kerio Valley.
