Our impact in Africa

Ending female genital mutilation

Every day, thousands of girls are mutilated. We conduct awareness campaigns in villages in the Yatenga region of Burkina Faso to stop families from mutilating their daughters.

We also facilitate reconstructive surgery for girls and women living with severe physical and psychological consequences of FGM.

Our impact in the Caribbean

Standing with survivors of violence

The women we have met who survived rape describe it as an event that cannot be forgotten. Many live with lasting trauma, and with the rise in kidnappings more women are reporting the same.

Most carry the consequences daily, from low self-esteem to profound distress. The Carmen Charles Foundation works with partners in Haiti to provide psychosocial support and to meet basic needs such as food and clothing.
