About us

Tumndo Ne Leel Support Group (TNLSG) was established in Eldoret, Kenya in 2003  by Dr.Susan Chebet. Its aim is to  eradicate  the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) throughout the North Rift Region. The group challenges cultural demands for FGM by proposing alternative rites of passage ceremonies for girls. Additionally, TNLSG: 1) sensitizes community leaders and elected officials on women’s rights and harmful traditional practices such as wife inheritance; 2) advocates for legislation enhancing women’s access to resources such as land and education; and 3) economically empowers women through its business skills trainings.
