Nearly 4,4 million girls a year are at risk of female genital mutilation.
Adapting to the climate crisis, creating opportunities for women
ISF works in all its projects in collaboration with local organizations and civil society. This way, we ensure that change moves from ivory towers directly to communities, and the local civil society gets an opportunity to strengthen.
We currently work in three regions in Eastern Africa.
In past we've had projects in Uganda and Nicaragua too.

Change begins from within communities—and in this work, public and collective declarations are powerful.
The livelihoods of many women often break down due to a lack of funding. However, cooperatives and other microloan providers offer a solution to this problem.
The goal of ISF's work is to improve the status of women in East Africa and to act as a bridge in both driving change and strengthening local civil society.
We focus on combating female genital mutilation and violence against women, as well as building sustainable livelihoods for women. Our work integrates these elements in our projects because their combined impact creates a more stable foundation for women's status.
Our work is guided by the foundation's strategy extending to 2030, our four-year development programs, and annual planning with partner organizations.
