Waris Dirie Foundation
The AweSEM team developed a great website for the Waris Dirie Foundation, implementing all our ideas, wishes and was always willing and able to help. It is great working with them and we are very pleased with the results.

the project
For over 12 years, Waris Dirie has fought against female genital mutilation (FGM) worldwide. At least 150 million women and girls are affected by this cruel practice, which continues to be performed in Africa, but also in Asia, Europe, America and Australia.
The Waris Dirie Foundation seeks to end this crime by raising public awareness, creating networks, organizing events and educational programmes. The foundation also supports victims of FGM.
what we did
AweSEM worked with Waris and her team to create a site that helped raise public awareness of FGM. We also made sure that any work we produced could be easily maintained by the team directly by building it on the popular publishing platform WordPress.
