Members of this community in North Eastern Kenya cited that the chief reason, that FGM is practiced is because:<b>It is a Somali tradition as well as an Islamic requirement (even though the majority of Muslims globally do not practice FGM)</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is on this basis,that the African Family Health organization together with the Population Council decided to celebrate women in a different way by organizing an anti FGM crusade in Habaswein with the aim of delinking Female genital Mutilation to Islamic religion.</span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">On this day, we mobilized reputable Islam scholars like Sheikh Siyaat and Sheikh Ibrahim Lethome (Population Council Consultant) who recited different verses of the Quran and Hadith that prooved that the community's argument on practicing FGM is baseless and unfounded.</span><br />

In the effort of bridging the gap between the boy and girl child, World Vision built a boarding school in the area,but it is such a pity that the facility is largely under utilized since parents are not sending their girls to that school! unfortunately in the region,boys are given preference and sent to school at the expense of the girl child! The parents however were encouraged to take deliberate efforts to rescue the situation.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsYWpxshCf86z_1m5GbobWvLuk_hrWIRJU0Ab1zX1yUfSi4lLHczqOp1y1t-86H47R2CIYwmLBKrAC4zEYpITFjD2EEH8PSvNwFkV6lQhhJt6FKRy7_nWC5cZ68r8sSRSt65CwRXPgFjYj/s1600/non_educated-girls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsYWpxshCf86z_1m5GbobWvLuk_hrWIRJU0Ab1zX1yUfSi4lLHczqOp1y1t-86H47R2CIYwmLBKrAC4zEYpITFjD2EEH8PSvNwFkV6lQhhJt6FKRy7_nWC5cZ68r8sSRSt65CwRXPgFjYj/s400/non_educated-girls.jpg" width="265" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></div></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">In the four medical camps women received free HIV testing,<br />
Cervical and Breast cancer screening.500 women were found<br />
terminally ill and were not aware. This was followed by<br />
intense counseling sessions to help these mothers and daughters<br />
to take it a day at a time.<br />
The women were also informed on the support systems around<br />
for more medical care. AFH would love to go an extra mile and<br />
aid their medication and therapy; By so doing, these women will<br />
receive proper medical care at a subsidized fee or even free.<br />
