Confidence* became a mother at 16, to a healthy little girl who is now 4 years old. Unmarried, she and her daughter used to live with her aunt. A short time ago, Confidence moved out to live with her boyfriend and became pregnant for the second time.
When she was told that free fistula surgery was available at our partner site Family Medical Center in Monrovia, she wasted no time and went immediately to the hospital for treatment. Thankfully, her repair was successful. Now 20, Confidence can resume her life.
