For 27 years, Olubunmi lived with obstetric fistula. Childbirth complications left her with a hole in her birth canal, unable to control urine. She used to work as an event caterer but now avoids public places. “Before I was free to work and travel but now I can't go away from home.” She is one of around 100,000 women in Nigeria living with fistula. It can be treated with surgery, but social stigma, lack of awareness and trained medical teams means many are suffering needlessly for years.

You will fund life-changing surgery, counselling and skills training to cure fistula and help women rebuild their lives. And finally your donation will support improved maternal healthcare to help prevent fistula in future. Ultimately, your donation will help women in poverty live free from fistula.
