Worldwide Fistula Fund

The Worldwide Fistula Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing life-saving obstetric fistula surgery for women in sub-Saharan Africa and other developing areas.

Fistula, internal injuries that happen when women don’t have access to proper medical care during or after childbirth, have devastating effects on a woman’s physical, psychological and emotional health. But there is a treatment that ends this suffering.

And the Worldwide Fistula Fund provides it.

STORIES OF HOPE
The women who suffer from obstetric fistula could be any one of us – they like smiling and laughing, they have dreams for their future, and they value their families above all else. What makes them different is that they don’t have access to the medical care they need to be healthy themselves and to deliver healthy babies. They don’t have educations, they don’t have resources and they don’t have any way to fix their condition on their own. But with your help, the Worldwide Fistula Fund is making a difference in the lives of many.

Meet some of the wonderful women that your donations have brought hope and healing to by clicking on the picture to your right.
