Thanks for your interest in this page. Many friends have reached out to ask if I have an Amazon wishlist for my baby expected in October, but as I have been blessed to received many pre-loved (and other!) items from friends I am pretty much sorted on that front! If you do have an overwhelming urge to send something, I would love for you to consider contributing to The Fistula Foundation, a charity I read about in the books Half the Sky and The Life You Can Save.

While fistulae are unheard of in the UK where C-sections are available, there are half a million to two million women living with fistulas elsewhere, (see https://www.fistulafoundation.org/pdf/FFHTSGuide.pdf for more information).

The Life You Can Save identifies charities that focus on urgent problems with concrete solutions that don’t get enough funding, uses scientific evidence to identify the highest impact solutions to each problem, and finds and rigorously screens high-quality, cost-effective organisations working on these solutions. The Fistula Foundation is on that list (see https://www.thelifeyoucansave.org/best-charities/fistula-foundation/).

Thank you for reading! Much love

Robyn and Sid
