Our Mission

The Fistula Foundation is dedicated to the treatment and prevention of obstetric fistula, the devastating injury caused by obstructed labor, through support of the Hamlin Fistula Hospitals in Ethiopia.

Our first priority is to achieve financial sustainability for the Hamlin Fistula Hospitals as they expand their treatment and prevention programs to help a growing number of current and potential fistula patients. As such, we are committed to raising awareness of obstetric fistula, especially among North American donors, organizations, the press and other influencers.
