Campaign for Afghanistan – You Did It!

You helped raise over $200,000 for women in need. You are changing lives! Thanks to over 300 kindhearted supporters like you, we fulfilled our $200,000 pledge to support vital fistula care in Afghanistan. Because of your compassion, CURE International’s dynamic, all-female fistula team can continue their critical work, filling an acute need for more female doctors in Afghanistan.

“I would like to express my gratitude to Fistula Foundation donors for their continuous support of our patients. Without their help, we are not able to serve these unfortunate mothers.”

— Dr. Sofia Hail, lead fistula surgeon

We would also like to extend a special thanks to our anonymous challenge donors, who matched $100,000 in gifts to the campaign. We couldn’t have kept this promise to CURE International without you!
