About US
KMG Ethiopia is an indigenous resident charity civil society organization founded by Bogaletch and Fikirte Gebre, sisters who grew up in rural Ethiopia, where gender-based violence, including FGM, was endemic. Over the centuries, our ancient peoples have developed many positive local traditions, including a basic principle we call self-help, or gezzima. But, harmful traditional customs have been handed down as a result of misconceptions. At KMG, we are building on our positive traditions like gezzima to eliminate those that harm our people, especially our women and girls.
