Female Genital Mutilation, #FGM is a harmful practice that affects millions of girls and women around the world.
In #Kenya, FGM is illegal, but still prevalent in some rural areas. That's why Mack Marangu (@mack_shem) , a @UNFPA_ESARO FGM innovator, created @TotoRegister , a platform that collects daily child attendance from schools and community centers, and analyzes the data to identify and alert the authorities of any potential FGM risks or patterns.
As of today, more than 2,500 learners have been tracked and 20+ schools enrolled on the platform.
TotoRegister's smart attendance system is safeguarding girls in rural Kenya.
Watch and be inspired.

Did you know? Every year, millions of girls are at risk of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), a harmful practice that robs them of their rights and dignity. But we're not just here to share facts – we're here to drive ACTION.
Introducing the #WeScaleFGMHacklab Innovator
We learned about @mack_shem's Toto Register app - a game-changer for tracking learners' school journeys!
@TotoRegister was the winner of Save the Children Kenya and Madagascar's Digital Innovation Challenge, it connects actions like food incentives & protection to assessment results, ensuring quality education access.
Toto Register is already making waves in Dadaab Refugee Camp, shaping resilient education plans!
Today, we visited Badbaadho ABE Center in Daadab to kick off our pilot project for @TotoRegister in collaboration with @SaveChildren_KE . ✨
With TotoRegister, we aim to enhance attendance monitoring, data-driven decision-making, and child protection efforts.
