Total costs per year are for 50% of the salary of a Project Manager (£6,673), the cost of room and creche hire (£2,330), volunteer costs (£480) and administration and recruitment costs (£400). ‘The Women’s Aid’ project aims to raise awareness and provide support to Sudanese women living in Scotland affected by Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
