In 2021 a partnership began fulfilling a dream . . . to end the traditional female genital mutilation (FGM) practice in the villages of western Kenya.
The wife of the Kenyan Methodist Conference Bishop, Pauline Ntombura, dreamed of a shelter for Kenyan girls who needed a safe haven to avoid genital mutilation and being sold off in marriage.
The United Women in Faith of the North Texas Conference partnered with the Connexional Women Fellowship of the Methodist Church in Kenya have worked together to provide such a place.
Today the Jerri Savuto Center for Girls is home to 92 girls in two locations. A new campus is being finished now and girls plan to move in for Christmas 2026!
