LOCAL
We work together with local communities and partner organizations that are driving change themselves and ensuring it is sustainable over the long term.
These numbers represent ten years of collaboration, educational work, and sustainable change.
FGM/C is deeply rooted in social norms, traditions, and societal structures. That is why Zinduka focuses on community-based, long-term approaches that actively involve local communities in processes of change.

PARTICIPATORY
Girls, women, and community members actively help shape our projects and contribute their perspectives and expertise.
EVIDENCE-BASED
Our projects combine educational work, monitoring, and impact assessment to drive sustainable change.
TRANSFORMATIVE
We support communities as they challenge social norms and develop new perspectives.
Sustainable change does not come from a single project, but rather from many interlinked measures. That is why Zinduka combines protection, education, community work, and advocacy into a holistic approach. Together with local partner organizations, we develop projects that empower girls, strengthen communities, and create long-term prospects. All of our projects share a common goal: to end FGM/C once and for all and to enable girls and women to lead self-determined lives.
Hooyo Haigoynin strengthens the Somali community in Eastleigh through dialogue and education in the fight against FGM/C.
#TogetherWeEndFGM strengthens communities through education, empowerment, and collaborative efforts to combat FGM/C.
RAIN WORKER+ empowers local advocates to embed knowledge about health and FGM/C prevention in their communities.
Tazama uses film and storytelling to create spaces for dialogue about FGM/C and to drive long-term change in communities.
I am glad to have learned about FGM and its effects. Education helps prevent early marriage among girls. This training has empowered me as a young person, and with this knowledge, I feel capable of starting a business with the limited resources I have. This will enable me to secure a livelihood and avoid the struggles many young people face in trying to survive.
