About this organization
Mission
Fistula Foundation is dedicated to treating women suffering from obstetric fistula, a devastating childbirth injury that leaves a woman incontinent. Surgery is the only cure. Fistula Foundation provides more life-transforming fistula repair surgeries than any other organization in the world. We believe that no woman should endure a life of misery and isolation simply for trying to bring a child into the world. We are committed to accountability and transparency, and receive the highest ratings from every industry watchdog group.
About
We work to engage the support of people worldwide who are eager to see a day when no woman suffers from obstetric fistula or a severe perineal tear. Raising funds from donors around the globe, we strategically direct these funds to doctors and hospitals providing life-transforming surgery in areas of high unmet need. Our goal is to end the needless suffering of women with fistula or untreated tears, restoring their health and ability to fully contribute to their families and communities. Since 2009, we have supported treatment in 33 countries in Africa and Asia. Even with this growth, we remain humbled by the profound need for every dollar we raise.
