Promoting Participation of Women & Girls

2007

Founding of Afyafrika

Afyafrika was founded with the mission of ending harmful cultural practices such as Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and child marriage in Kenya. Our journey began with a small group of passionate advocates committed to making a change in the lives of girls and women.

2012

First Community Outreach Program

We launched our first community-based program to educate local populations about the dangers of FGM and the importance of girls' education. This initiative paved the way for many more impactful projects in the coming years.

2015

Collaboration with Global Partners

In 2015, Afyafrika collaborated with international organizations and donors to expand its outreach and implement more large-scale programs to combat FGM and child marriage across Kenya. This partnership strengthened our impact.

2018

First Successful Advocacy Campaign

We successfully led a national campaign against FGM, which garnered significant attention and support from local governments, the media, and other NGOs. The campaign led to policy changes that positively impacted the lives of thousands of girls.

2020

Expansion to New Regions

Afyafrika expanded its efforts to new regions in Kenya, reaching more marginalized communities and continuing to provide education, resources, and support for the prevention of FGM and gender-based violence.

2023

Milestone: Over 10,000 Girls Impacted

We celebrated a major milestone—over 10,000 girls were reached through our programs, and the incidence of FGM in targeted communities has decreased significantly. Our work continues to have a profound impact on the lives of women and girls in Kenya.
