Today's girls are tomorrow's leaders.

Don't cut their dreams short.

FGM steals futures education, health, opportunity. The EAC Elimination of FGM Bill 2025 says: not in our region. Not anymore.

Say YES to the Bill.

Why the peer-to-peer outreaches?

Working through peer educators and EASSI staff, traders in different locations are sensitized on information about #trade, EASSI resource center, the OSBP & different border agencies, and the benefits & formation of #cooperatives

Great engagement
