Americans for UNFPA will honor Beatrice Chelangat, the Director of the REACH Program (Reproductive Educative and Community Health Program) in the Kacphorwa District of Uganda. REACH has assisted more than 500,000 people and has helped thousands of girls avoid female genital cutting (FGC/FGM), remain in school, and become active members of their community. She will be honored for her exemplary contributions to improving the lives of women and girls. She will receive a $5000 grant, and present keynote addresses in San Francisco, Seattle and Minneapolis.
