Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Hamlin Fistula UK gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Fistula is a condition that can be treated. Without treatment, it often results in social exclusion and a premature and painful death. Hamlin Fistula UK supports the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia which helps to care for women who have sustained fistulas in childbirth.
The photo shows a patient arriving at the hospital, having walked 200 miles with her brother. She had been abandoned by her husband and shunned by her friends because of the smell that is a consequence of the condition. Within three weeks she was completely cured.
