Donate to Sahiyo India to protect young girls from Female Genital Cutting

I wish Sahiyo had existed when my daughter was younger, so I could have saved her from being cut.

Sahiyo’s work is empowering communities to end Female Genital Cutting (FGC). And our work is only possible when you empower us with your support. For instance,

  • With a Rs 1,000 donation, you can help us design awareness campaigns about the need to end FGC.
  • With a Rs 2,000 donation, you can give an FGC survivor a safe space to share her story at Sahiyo’s “Thaal Pe Charcha” support program.
  • With a Rs 3,000 donation, you can help a community member attend Sahiyo’s activist training workshop and learn how to end FGC at the grassroots level.

Your contribution, of any amount, will also help us research various aspects of FGC in South Asia, develop tools and resources to aid grassroots activists, sustain our storytelling programs to break the silence on FGC and expand our community outreach across India.

Ultimately, your donation can help save a girl child from this harmful cut.
