The project breaks through educative and entertaining activities, as a natural way of communication, the silence on female genital mutilation (FGM). It gives space to open inter-generation and intergender dialogue, sets role models and ambassadors speaking out against the practice, and overcomes the fear of social exclusion when FGM not performed.

The project will promote the education of girls among themselves and their families. Half of girls in Oromia get married before they reach 17.4 years of age. Once they get married, a vast majority drops out of school to take care of the household.

BEST Girls – Being Empowered, Strong and Together project is a project implemented by 4 youth-led/youth focused grassroot organizations that has been working in partnership since the year 2017on various development projects. Using this existing synergy, the organizations came together and form a strong project implementing cluster called “Addooyyee” to implement BEST Girls project in Adama City Administration at Logo Sub-city, Bika kebele.
