Five teenage girls from Kenya are headed to California to make their dream of ending female genital mutilation (FGM) in their country a reality. The bright teens invented an app called i-Cut, which provides girls with easy access to legal and medical assistance before and after FGM.


The app has earned them a place in the 2017 Technovation Challenge, a competition taking place in Silicon Valley later this month that helps girls around the world become tech entrepreneurs."Five teen schoolgirls from Kenya invented an app to connect girls at risk of FGM with help and resources."
