THE JOURNEY
A Movement, Not a Moment
A Girl At A Time Sierra Leone was born from a simple but radical belief that every girl deserves to live free from violence, free from fear, and free to dream.
Under the leadership of Alimatu Dimonekene MBE, our organisation has grown from a grassroots community initiative to an internationally recognized force in the fight against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and all forms of violence against women and girls in Sierra Leone.
Now, that journey continues on the global stage as Alimatu joins thousands of advocates, policymakers, and changemakers at Women Deliver 2026 in Narrm (Melbourne), Australia.
“When the community carries you, no stage is too far, no door is too closed.”
COMMUNITY POWER
Community Power
Every donation, every share, every word of encouragement made this possible.
This is your victory too.
Our GoFundMe Campaign Success
Thank You for Going Above & Beyond
When we launched our GoFundMe campaign, we hoped the community would rally behind the vision. You didn't just rally — you carried us. Over 27 donors from all over the world contributed, pushing us past our goal £2600 and making it possible for Alimatu to represent A Girl At A Time on the world stage.
This is what community-led advocacy looks like. Every pound, dollar, and leone donated is an investment in a future where girls in Sierra Leone can live free from violence.
