Why End the Cut Race?

End the Cut Race,is a Sports for Impact Africa (S4IA) initiative using sport as a platform for social change to raise awareness, mobilize communities and champion a future free from Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).

Held on 5 December 2026, during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (25 November–10 December), the race supports global efforts to end violence against women and girls.

Rooted in our nomadic heritage, we are spotlighting FGM because it remains a significant concern in our nomadic communities. Kenya’s 2022 Demographic and Health Survey reported FGM prevalence of 15% among women aged 15–49 nationally, 86.9% among Somali women and 75.9% among Samburu women (Kenya National Bureau of Statistics [KNBS] & ICF, 2023; Orchid Project, 2025).

Through this race, we aim to turn awareness into action. Part of the proceeds will support two youth-led organizations working to end FGM in Wajir and Samburu counties.
