Waris Dirie, the Somalia nomad who became a supermodel, and an
anti-FGM activist, first came to the world's attention with the
publication of her autobiography, Desert Flower. The book was
subsequently made into a film and little Safa Nour, from one of the
slums of Djibouti in the Horn of Africa, was chosen to play the
young Waris. The book and the film record many extraordinary things
- from facing down a tiger, to being discovered by a famous
photographer in London - but it also tells the grim story of female
circumcision, an ordeal that the young Waris had to endure. Saving
Safa opens with a letter from Safa, now aged seven, who explains
that she is worried that she will undergo FGM in spite of the
contract her parents have signed with Dirie's Desert Flower
Foundation stating that they will never have their daughter cut.
Waris drops everything and flies to Djibouti where she meets Safa's
father and mother who thinks her daughter should be cut to stop the
community ostracising them. As Safa was saved from FGM through a
contract with her parents, the Foundation believes a thousand other
girls can be saved through providing their families with aid in
return for a promise not to mutilate their daughters
