When a group of five teenage girls from Kisumu, Kenya saw firsthand the impact female genital mutilation (FGM) was having in their community they decided to do something about it. The team of girls call themselves the Restorers and their app is iCut, an android app that helps fight female genital mutilation. Team Restorers says FGM is a national outcry yet widely ignored. Their mobile app is aimed at reaching girls who have undergone FGM and those at risk. It provides a platform where people can report FGM cases and where FGM victims can get help and moral support, including a panic button for those in imminent danger.
