Project Zero is ready to roll out in two NEW woredas (districts). Will you help make it happen?
Project Zero is eradicating obstetric fistula in Ethiopia, woreda by woreda.
Following the hugely successful pilot in Ale Woreda, NO woman is suffering from an historic fistula injury in this district.
But with an estimated 31,000 women still living with the anguish of fistula, we need your help to roll out Project Zero in the next two woredas – Fedis and Serahiti – by the end of this year.
Dr Catherine Hamlin dedicated her life to the eradication of obstetric fistula. By partnering with us, you can help make it happen sooner.
It costs $250,000 to implement Project Zero in a single woreda.
Your generous investment is critical to now implement Project Zero in the Fedis and Serahiti woredas.
Women with fistula like Hawwa are hiding away in shame.
They can be cured, but first they must be found.
“Urine incontinence began in my first pregnancy. With fistula I couldn’t walk with friends, I couldn’t have a child. I lost all my life. The pain is unbearable. The people from this [Hamlin] hospital came to my home and brought me here. I did not know there was a cure for my condition. I simply stayed home waiting for a miracle to happen to me.” – Hawwa
Please help implement Project Zero in two NEW woredas.
With your generosity, the Hamlin team can find and cure more women like Hawwa, empowering them to start their lives anew.
Project Zero’s holistic, sustainable approach has been tested and proven.
Identification & Treatment
Your gift will help find every woman who is living with the pain and indignity of fistula and bring her to a Hamlin fistula hospital for treatment.
Prevention
Our goal is to establish a midwifery clinic in every woreda. Improved maternal healthcare means fewer women will sustain this horrific birth injury in future.
Education
You can help increase community awareness on the importance of medical care during pregnancy, safe delivery methods and treatment options for women.
Now we need to expand its impact.
Your support is urgently needed to deliver the next phase of Project Zero.
Woman by woman, woreda by woreda, your investment today will help realise Catherine’s vision of an end to fistula in Ethiopia.
