Desert Flower Foundation’s mission
The Desert Flower Foundation has been at the forefront of the fight against FGM since its establishment in 2002. Originally founded as the Waris Dirie Foundation in Vienna, Austria, and later renamed DFF, the organization advocates for a world where every girl and woman can live free from the threat of FGM. Today, more than 250 million women and girls globally are impacted by this practice, with an estimated 3.5 million at risk each year. Every 11 seconds, a young girl is subjected to FGM against her will. The foundation’s work is a powerful force for change, striving to prevent these numbers from growing further.
BUFARMA®’s values and vision
Our commitment to ethical practices and social responsibility is at the heart of BUFARMA®. This partnership with the Desert Flower Foundation reflects our values of equality, empowerment, and respect for human rights. We believe that supporting causes like DFF amplifies our mission to create products that not only enhance skin health but also contribute to a healthier, more just world.
