Our Vision
Our vision is for all women in Africa to have access to healthcare
during pregnancy and childbirth and to help eradicate obstetric
fistulas
In order to achieve this, we have a number of concrete objectives:
- To increase the number of free surgeries provided at the clinic in Sierra Leone
- To expand its outreach services to identify more women in rural areas in need of surgery
- To finance the creation of a dedicated obstetric fistula department at the JFK Hospital in Liberia
- To partner with existing organisations and facilities already providing free surgeries
- To finance caesarean sections to stop obstetric fistulas occurring
- To finance access to healthcare during pregnancy
- To train traditional birth attendants (TBAs) to prevent obstructed labour
- To train surgeons to repair obstetric fistulas
100% of donations go directly to the projects as our administration costs are met by The Gloag Foundation.
£100 can change a woman’s life forever
When appropriate, we actively seek partnerships with other successful charities and NGOs.
We are interested in making a difference in whatever way we can and sometimes that is most effectively achieved in partnership with others.
The women we are helping are like you - mothers, daughters, cousins, wives, aunts, nieces......
