Obstetric Fistula

After I read “Cursed  by God?” I decided I wanted to find out more about this development that can happen in women.  I found this website specifically for question about obstetric fistula.  Some of the questions have already been answered in the reading but there are a few that have not.  They also have other links you can click to find out more information. 
One of the questions asked it what can you do as a person to help out with this problem and if anyone would like to help here is the information given:
A tax-deductible donation to the Fistula Foundation directly assists in restoring health and dignity to women suffering from fistulas.
The Fistula Foundation is also expanding its Circle of Friends, a program which assists groups and individuals who want to hold their own fundraisers to support the Foundation's work to help women with fistulas in developing countries. If you have questions about any of our programs,

Also if you would like to read another story about another woman that experienced the development of obstetric fistula you can meet 18 year old Abeba Zerehun!
