Story

 

In Africa, it is estimated that over 2 million women and girls suffer from fistula, an obstetric condition caused by prolonged, obstructed childbirth and poor maternal healthcare.

This Christmas, FFF launch our first ever 12 Days of Christmas campaign, a campaign designed to provoke your thoughts, highlight the plight of each of our different projects, and invite you to get to know some of patients and staff a bit better!

In 2017, we have seen a record number of patients come through our doors and subsequently leave us restored, empowered and healthy.  

Many of our patients stay with us for extended periods of time (up to 8 or 9 months in some cases)...

For $1,300 you can pay for life changing fistula surgery, as well as  rehabilitation, which helps to reintegrate the women and girls back into their communities.

Just $260 can purchase a solar station as seen in the film last night.  

This alone can help to empower our patients and provide them with an income to support themselves and their families upon their return to their communities.

$75 will pay for a fistula patient’s education during their stay at our facilities.  Many of these women and girls have no literacy or numeracy skills so this invaluable training can empower and change lives, and help our patients to create their own future.

For only $5, you can feed a woman in our care for a full day.  We feed our patients 3 healthy and wholesome meals a day, designed to help them build their strength and provide them with the right nutrients 

Your help will restore the lives of those most in need.

THANK YOU!
