My Nonprofit Reviews

At the conclusion of the book Half The Sky, readers were encouraged to choose at least one action to take to help make a difference. I had been so moved by the stories of women who suffered fistulas, and encouraged by efforts to help them that I decided to investigate fistula repair or prevention work. While researching groups I could support, I discovered the Fistula Foundation. I was very impressed with their work, and immediately took money from my savings to fully fund the surgery for one woman. Later that year, as I continued to think about the plight of women who endure fistulas, I again funded surgery for another woman. This past Christmas, my group of friends decided to make a donation to the Fistula Foundation rather than exchange gifts, as we already have such abundance in our lives. I am so inspired by the reports I get from the Foundation, and am always eager to share news about their work with others. I hope others discover this wonderful group.
