Mission Statement
One million women in low-income countries needlessly suffer from obstetric fistula—a childbirth injury that causes incontinence—because they cannot access the surgery that can cure them. Fistula Foundation provides high-quality treatment to these women, serving as an essential bridge between women who suffer needlessly and selfless people who want to help them. Across that bridge flows resources to doctors who perform life-transforming surgery and to outreach workers who connect women with the treatment that they deserve. We believe that no woman should lead a life of misery simply for trying to bring a child into the world. We strive every day to end the suffering of women injured in childbirth—and to ensure that no woman is left behind. Learn more: https://www.fistulafoundation.org/
About This Cause
Fistula Foundation was founded in 2000 as an all-volunteer organization to support the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital, a pioneering fistula treatment facility in Ethiopia. Our success over the next decade enabled us to expand our mission dramatically in 2009. That year, we adopted a global strategy to end the suffering caused by fistula. Since then, as a result of rapid growth, we have supported treatment for women in need at sites in more than 35 countries across Africa and Asia. We now fund more obstetric fistula surgeries in more countries than any other organization in the world. While our revenue has grown 9x since 2009, we’ve increased surgeries more than 30x—transforming the lives of tens of thousands of women in need. Learn more: https://www.fistulafoundation.org/
