Africa - Stop Circumcision works to keep newborn children whole by providing accurate information about the prepuce (foreskin), circumcision, and intact care.

This group was part of The WHOLE Network until they abandoned the local chapter system when they went to 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.

PEPFAR (2025) has scrapped its ineffective and harmful "voluntary male medical circumcision" (VMMC) program after 15 years and at least 27,000,000 harmful and useless foreskin amputations.[1] The United States government will no longer pay for harmful circumcision in Africa.
