Your support in action: Giving Tuesday 2024

 Your incredible support on Giving Tuesday and throughout the festive season gave women suffering with terrible childbirth injuries the best gift of all - their health and dignity. 

You helped provide beautiful Comfort Packages for new patients arriving at Hamlin’s fistula hospitals for treatment. 

Each Comfort Package includes a lovingly hand-knitted Hamlin blanket, hygiene items, a clean new nightgown and slippers and a lovely homecoming dress. 

These items make a woman feel loved and cared for during her hospital stay and empower her to return home looking and feeling like the new person she’s become. 

Jittu was welcomed to Hamlin’s Harar Fistula Hospital with the gift of a Comfort Package. Free life-changing surgery followed and she returned to her family and community with her health and dignity restored. 

Jittu | Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation | Together we can eradicate obstetric fistula in Ethiopia.

“In the hospital, they took excellent care of me - providing food, washing my clothes and giving me the necessary treatment. I am very grateful to the staff for giving me back my health and confidence. When they told me I was cured, I was overjoyed and felt at peace.” - Jittu 

If you didn’t get a chance to donate and would like to give a Comfort Package to another woman like Jittu, visit catherinehamlin.org/donate.
