Your gift can help provide life-changing fistula surgery for women like Faith
Mothers like Faith are facing discrimination, isolation, shame, and embarrassment because of the birthing injury that is beyond their control. Tears in the birth canal caused by labour, called fistulas, will never heal without surgery and leave women unable to control their bowels or bladder. Because the condition isn’t well understood in some communities, mothers are cast aside, called ‘untreatable’, and left to face incontinence and shame alone.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
With a gift today, you can help fund some simple repair surgery for a woman like Faith. You’ll be helping her to reclaim her to reclaim health, her dignity, and her life. Please make a donation today.
Why your gift is needed
In communities like the one Faith lives in, fistula isn’t properly understood. It means that women aren’t diagnosed, can’t access the right support when they know something is wrong, and face unjust discrimination. It means up to 100,000 women each year, worldwide have to suffer the pain, indignity, and shame of fistula.
But with a gift today, you can help mothers out of this ordeal. A simple surgery can change everything and help them reclaim a life free from fistula.
You’re helping train healthcare workers
To help ensure that the horrors of fistula will one day be a thing of the past, your gift is helping to train healthcare workers in some of the poorest communities in the world.
