@ericlesire @SamburuWtrust @NGECKenya Thank you for listen and being the positive voice in our community. Keep up!.

@SamburuWtrust @JaneMeriwas began early this journey and experience is one of the best teachers and I believe as Youth, we need to emulate our community role models and champions of #EndFGM like @SamburuWtrust @NGECKenya @JaneMeriwas etc

Tonight is more than a conversation—it’s about courage, healing, and change. Survivors and young women are breaking the silence, speaking up, and leading the movement to end FGM. Let’s listen, learn, ask questions, and stand together as voices for change. Join us 8:00–9:00 PM
