In Sierra Leone SWF supports the efforts of anti-FGM activists by financing educational programs that improve basic conditions of girls, boys and young women who are at risk of FGM. Including men and all members on the community in the process of eradicating FGM is central to SWF's efforts among nationals.
SWF's expert on FGM in Sierra Leone offers free consultations to effective activists who engage in human rights work that aims to end FGM.  SWF influences cooperation between secret society members, politicians and religious leaders.
SWF has been active for 21 years through effective partnerships.
