Supporting Hope for
Women and Girls

THE CURRENT PROBLEM
Female genital mutilation and cutting (FGM/C) remains a significant issue in many parts of the world, particularly in 29 African countries, despite extensive efforts to eliminate the practice.

The founders and ambassadors of BE11A JS had the privilege of visiting a safe house in Mugumu, Tanzania, operated by Hope for Girls and Women. This organisation provides essential services to women and girls escaping FGM, gender-based violence (GBV), and forced marriage, offering safety, support, and empowerment to those in need.
OUR COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING
EFFORTS AGAINST FGM AND GBV
Recognising the critical need for safe spaces and comprehensive services for those affected by FGM and GBV, our foundation is committed to supporting initiatives that address these issues.
We are currently exploring impactful ways to collaborate with Hope for Girls and Women, an organisation actively working to protect and empower women and girls at risk in Tanzania. This exploration phase allows us to assess various avenues for meaningful support, focusing on creating sustainable, community-driven change in partnership with local stakeholders.
OUR NEXT STEPS
In collaboration with Hope for Girls and Women's founder, Ms. Rhobi Samwelly, we are identifying potential projects that align with both the community's needs and our foundation’s mission. By understanding the challenges and opportunities within Mugumu, we aim to make informed decisions about how best to contribute to Hope’s vision of a safer future for women and girls.
OUR VISION
We envision a world where women and girls are free from the threat of FGM and other forms of gender-based violence. As we continue our exploration with Hope for Girls and Women, we remain committed to fostering social change and creating pathways for empowerment and resilience within affected communities.
