Your kind messages arrived in Ethiopia

Your messages to women to receive with their Comfort Package have arrived!

We love sharing stories about our patients in Ethiopia with you. Your compassion and support for them is heart-warming and inspiring.

Many of you recently took the time to write a special message of encouragement and support to a woman arriving at a Hamlin fistula hospital for treatment.

Watch our video of the women receiving their card.

It means the world to patients, knowing people like you from the other side of the globe care deeply about them. Each card is now attached to a Comfort Package so patients know they have your care and support from the other side of the world.
