Philanthropy and Major Gifts

Working together to create a fistula-free Ethiopia

You are invited to join us to finish what Dr Catherine Hamlin started.

For more than six decades Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia has worked tirelessly to transform maternal health care in Ethiopia so that every woman can be free from the most horrific of all childbirth injuries, obstetric fistula.

Project Zero is our plan to eradicate fistula forever.

By supporting Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation with a generous philanthropic gift to Chasing Zero, you will play a vital part in helping find and treat every woman in Ethiopia living with obstetric fistula within the next 10 years. 

For women, for children, for humanity.

You are in control of your

philanthropic journey

We are passionate about working with Trusts, Foundations and corporates to ensure your gift is directed to the program area that aligns with your philanthropic objectives.

For example, you may want to direct your funds towards providing life-changing treatment for women with fistula injuries. Or you could support the training and deployment of Hamlin Midwives who are pivotal to the success of Project Zero and preventing fistula injuries.   

Alternatively, you could choose to provide flexible funding which allows us to direct your funds to where they are needed the most.

Your support in action

The full impact of your support

In FY23, for every $1 donated 70 cents went directly towards Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia’s programs for the treatment and prevention of obstetric fistula.

12 cents are necessary for accountability and administration and 18 cents is invested in fundraising efforts, allowing us to help even more women in future years.

Through bespoke program reports and quarterly Hamlin Treatment Impact dashboard reports, you’ll see first-hand the impact of your generosity.
