Warm welcome and Congratulations Steve Ian Njuguna. Steve is our new employee Save A Woman Fistula Foundation , Project Officer.
He has a wealth of experience in software development and networking. He holds a degree in Actuarial Science and Software Engineering.
If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of fistula, here is how to get to Kenyatta National Hospital, Clinic 66, where a free fistula camp is currently ongoing. The camp offers free screenings, free admissions, and in some cases free surgery for those who need it. There is absolutely no shame in seeking help. Fistula is a medical condition that can affect any woman, and the most important step is choosing treatment and care. Friday 22nd May is the last day!

Today, I joined the Ministry of Health @MOH_Kenya, Kenyatta National Hospital @KNH_hospital, healthcare workers, development partners, survivors, and advocates in commemorating the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula at Kenyatta National Hospital.
The survivor testimonies shared today were deeply moving and reminded us that obstetric fistula is not just a medical condition ;it is a dignity, mental health, and human rights issue.
No woman should suffer in silence simply because she brought life into this world.
I commend the Ministry of Health for its continued efforts to strengthen maternal healthcare, expand treatment sites, train healthcare workers, and increase community awareness across the country.
I also applaud all partners, including M-PESA Foundation, UNFPA, AMREF Health Africa, Fistula Foundation, Flying Doctors Society of Africa, @SharonKorir18, Save a Woman Fistula Foundation @Sawff_org, and many others working tirelessly to restore hope, healing, and dignity to affected women.
Today’s message was clear:
Fistula is preventable.
Fistula is treatable.
Healing is possible.
Let us continue creating awareness, fighting stigma, and ensuring that no woman in Kenya is left behind.

We Must Urgently Confront Obstetric Fistula. It undermines women's human dignity and wellbeing, social, economic and political rights/development; freedom from descrimination; reproductive and mental health rights etc.
@thekhrc@SharonKorir18#stopfistulastigma
Reproductive health rights are human rights and an entitlement to all women. The society can only grow when we actualise reproductive health rights of all women. We must achieve dignity in child birth and the well being of the woman

I am a friend of the foundation and l support financially to restore dignity."
I believe the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st Century

@SharonKorir18#stopfistula#stopfistulastigma
Every woman has the right to health including sexual and reproductive rights, and the right to live in dignity. As a friend of the foundation, I support the foundation financially to restore the health, hope and dignity of women and girls with obstetric fistula
@SharonKorir18
Obstetric fistula leaves a woman incontinent, humiliated and sometimes shunned. Surgery is the only cure to help change one woman's world forever the ripple effect of her restored health is profound in both her family and community.
@mbui_patricia@SharonKorir18#stopfistula
Fistula silences the body and denies it an opportunity to exist and thrive. We need to normalise fistula conversations to allow women live a normal, stigma free life.
