What we Do

We’re On A Mission To Solve Problems

EDUCATION

  • Construction of School structures: in remote communities where Bondo Bushes [FGM Shrines] where removed to construct Modern school structures to boost the girl child education. The organization and the various schools authorities have agreed to inculcate FGM topics in their school curriculum.

 

CAMPAIGN AGAINST FGM

  • AIM-SL has formed and trained about 1,500 school pupils [150 clubs of influence] across the regions. This is to ensure that, school going pupils are educated on the negative effects of FGM and how they can help in cascading the messages of FGM 

WATER & SANITATION

the Water Well against FGM project funded by BMZ/Pfefferminzgreen. This project aimed at reducing the high level of violence perpetrated against women and girls in rural communities especially on the abduction of young girls into FGM.  The roads to the stream were mostly used as a trap for the forceful initiation into FGM.

AGRICULTURE

  • AIM- Sierra Leone has supported rural women especially Ex-Sowies through the Women in Agriculture Project supported by Pfefferminzgreen . The project provided seeds, agricultural equipment and food for work for the 10 groups of women in rural communities.

VILLAGE SAVINGS & LOAN SCHEME

Village savings and loan is a scheme used by AIM Sierra Leone in-order to boost the economy of women especially the Ex-FGM Practitioners. The organization has supported about 25 groups of women with trainings, seed money, savings boxes and stationaries. These groups have been monitored on weekly basis so as to provide them the needed technical and moral support for the normal functioning of the various groups. This has helped to reshape the economic activities of these women through the engagement in small scale businesses to support the education of their children and their daily up-keeping
