Healthy Tomorrow is designed to foster global progress through local action,
endeavoring to help strengthen and preserve valuable traditional cultures –
legacies that have much to offer our complex global community.
Healthy Tomorrow’s signature program, Project Stop Excision, has
slowly evolved into a strong consortium of partners. Project Stop Excision
has been implemented in cooperation with clinics,
government agencies, and other established institutions. We have also
collaborated with notable public personalities who, generally through music,
have helped to raise awareness of female genital mutilation and its
consequences.
Program personnel for Sini Sanuman – our sister organization in Mali – are
drawn from the community and receive support and guidance from Healthy
Tomorrow partners and other dedicated NGO specialists. This approach ensures
that program goals and methodologies are appropriate to the communities
being served and will endure into the future. Members of the consortium
collaborating with Healthy Tomorrow to stop female genital mutilation and
educate about its consequences are listed below.
We hope to continue to nurture and expand this network to further bring
together proven experts in a variety of fields and thereby provide the
structure for them to share ideas, practices, and resources. We believe this
to be an innovative strategy that simultaneously addresses interrelated
social, economic, and cultural issues. Coordination at this level optimizes
the programs' potential for success by leveraging partner expertise,
expanding opportunities for fundraising and networking, reducing
redundancies in programs in the same region, and creating cost-effectiveness
through collaborations.
