Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

I have followed Freedom from Fistula for a number of years after being told about them from a lovely friend of mine. Not only does this charity help women who have lost babies and been shunned from their homes/villages because of having a fistula, they also help women deliver their babies safely AND while the women are recovering from surgery they are taught basic maths and literacy; skills they can take with them to help make a better life. They are also taught to sew knitted/crocheted squares together. This is a simple skill anyone can learn that keeps them busy, helps recuperating and they have a blanket to take home with them. 

I have only ever donated squares before. However they are trying to raise £2000 to help them deliver even more babies. I would love to help them along. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
