Happy Hanukah!

This year we were able to open the TERREWODE Women’s Community Hospital in Uganda, double the amount of fistula surgeries in Burkina Faso, and educate 15,000 in Safe Motherhood by Let’s End Fistula Initiative in Kenya which secured NGO status. As we celebrate these accomplishments, we thank you for your support and wish you a very happy holiday season.
