Your support has given Hawwa the opportunity to start her life anew after the trauma of fistula.
When complications in her first pregnancy left her with a horrific fistula injury and leaking urine, Hawwa hid away in pain, shame and isolation for years.
Hamlin’s Patient Identification team found Hawwa despite the fact she was hidden away. They brought her to Hamlin’s Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital for life-changing surgery and wrapped her in warmth, encouragement and new hope.
Thanks to your support, Hawwa is finally free from the anguish of fistula.
“Now I feel healthy! I am dry. I will go home and start my life again.” — Hawwa
