Giving Tuesday Is December 2!
Mark your calendar for the biggest day of global giving—Tuesday, December 2. This year for Giving Tuesday, Fistula Foundation is shining a light on our partners’ work to heal women in Angola who needlessly suffer from childbirth injuries such as obstetric fistula.
Transform a Woman's Life
In Angola, less than half of women give birth with skilled medical care—putting them at risk for obstetric fistula. Despite the country’s wealth in natural resources, health indicators are grim: Angola has one of the world’s highest fertility rates and lowest life expectancy. As a result, an estimated 20,000 women are living with fistula.
We partner with surgeons like Dr. Pedro João Álvaro (pictured at left) to bring high-quality surgical care to women who would otherwise go without it. Together with your support and our partners expertise, we are lighting a path to healing for women—giving them health, providing hope, and restoring their place in their communities.
From now through December 2, gifts—up to $150,000— will be MATCHED* to support surgeries in Angola. Your gift today brings twice the light, twice the healing, and twice the hope to women who have waited for far too long.
*To increase access to these funds, the first $15,000 of your gift will be matched.
Light the Path to Healing in Angola
Fistula is a symptom of two deep-seated global problems: extreme poverty and gender inequality. In Angola, at least 20,000 women are suffering because they cannot access the treatment that can permanently cure them.
Through our partners in Angola—and with support from kind people like you—we work to right this wrong by providing life-transforming fistula care to women who would otherwise go without.
From now through Giving Tuesday—December 2—you can help us bring healing to women in Angola.
