In October this year, I'm volunteering on a medical expedition to the remote tribal communities in Kenya as part of a medical team providing free healthcare in association with the Divinity Foundation.
The work covers many different areas but particularly focuses on the Maasai girls as they are still subjected to Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM). The charity not only provides free healthcare for those suffering the aftermath, but also provides education for the elders of these communities and a rescue home for those girls fleeing FGM, where they often stay until they reach adulthood as they cannot return to their tribes after refusing FGM.
The work will be tough, and often heartbreaking, but by volunteering I can go some way to help these girls in need, help educate the cutters and help spread the word of alternative rights of passage with the Maasai elders.
I would be so grateful for any support you feel able to give to help me in this volunteering mission. Your support goes directly to those that need it most.
