Honour your loved one’s life

When you lose someone you love, you want their memory to last forever. Choosing to honour a loved one with a gift in memory to Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation is a powerful way to celebrate their life and cherish special memories while creating a legacy that will impact future generations.

A bereavement gift can also be a powerful way to turn grief into action. It’s an opportunity to channel emotions into something positive and meaningful, knowing you are making a difference in the world in honour of your loved one.

An in memory gift not only provides comfort to those left behind but also inspires others to give back to the community in a similar way.

A gift in memory gift to Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation helps restore the lives of women in Ethiopia suffering from obstetric fistula – a devastating, yet preventable, childbirth injury.

“My dream is to eradicate obstetric fistula from Ethiopia. I won’t achieve this in my lifetime, but you can in yours.”
– Dr Catherine Hamlin
