My Nonprofit Reviews

This organization is run by a diverse group of incredibly committed people most of whom volunteer their time and their expertise to elevate women's health globally. Women in low resource settings are at incredibly high risk for child birth related pelvic floor injuries and given their low status in society, rarely receive care. Care , if present, is rarely adequate. This organization believes in empowering local communities such as NGOs and academic institutions so that they are capable of building their own resilient health systems. This ensures sustainability and allows donors to make the most out of their investment in the long run.

World Wide Fistula Fund is one of those unique organizations that not only provides direct service to women with childbirth injuries, but also partners with federal medical institutions, community outreach organizations and stakeholders to build health care capacity on the ground in multiple countries. The services range from training the next generation of doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff caring for women , to clinical and surgical care, social reintegration and prevention of childbirth injuries. They are also one of few organizations who engage in academically rigorous research to improve care delivery and assess outcome . Go WFF!
