Adopt a SWF Program as part of your Club's international service
High school and college students are encouraged to adopt one of our SWF programs as part of their club's international focus. Fundraising events on University campuses are fun and the funds donated to SWF can buy food and books. Service clubs such as Soroptimst International and Rotary adopt SWF International programs that enable our national partners continue the work to end FGM. Please email Dr. Smart to discuss the best fit for your group. Adopting our SWF Programs creates tangible results in the lives of children and women in Sierra Leone.

Sponsor a Community Meeting on FGM
Intergenerational discussions on FGM prove to be key to breaking the silence on the practice and allow the local partners to engage in effective grassroots activities.
Social gatherings to discuss political and cultural issues are very elaborate in Sierra Leone, and can last more than five hours. Food and drinks are essential to ensure participation.
Your contribution is needed to facilitate a platform for change in remote villages where girls are at risk of FGM.
