Mojatu Foundation also nurtures talent through training, placements, inspirational talks, and provision of placements and mentorship. This helps young people, girls and women to progress and access better opportunities Through our health and women empowerment programme, we support healthy living by tackling Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) so as to end FGM in a generation. Mojatu Foundation supports FGM survivors to cope and empowers them to share their stories, gain confidence and knowledge to safeguard other girls and women and voice their concerns. We have been sensitising and empowering survivors and the community to lead campaign from within the community thus dealing with the issue in a dignified and respectable way. We now have a Nottinghamshire Community FGM Steering Group that meets every first Monday of the month and also a private Nottinghamshire Survivor’s Club bringing together like minded women wanting to end the practice in a generation. We have very committed members who have been very supportive and have helped to plan and organise events including national and international conferences, cultural events, film viewings, fun in the farm days, study days, training for professionals and other events to sensitise the community and educate others on the subject. Members are not only involved in planning activities around FGM but we also support and organise other community events to engage and support our communities If you are interested in joining the Nottinghamshire Community FGM Steering Group and/or the FGM Survivors Club, please contact the chair, Valentine Nkoyo- valentine@ mojatu.com or call 07794372214 or 01158457009.
