Jeannine's Ethiopian Hamlin Fistula Foundation fund raising trip.

Why Am I Fundraising

I have decided to fundraise for an amazing organisation called Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation. The foundation supports the important work of Dr Catherine Hamlin AC, a pioneering Australian surgeon who committed her life to helping women in Ethiopia with devastating childbirth injuries. In Ethiopia, around 50 of women experience childbirth without medical care. Many women sustain horrific childbirth injuries like obstetric fistula, which leave them incontinent. They are often abandoned by their families and communities and hide away in shame and isolation. I am travelling to Ethiopia as part of a self-funded Hamlin Ethiopian Adventure to see first-hand the incredible work of Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia. As part of my commitment, I am fundraising to directly help provide life-changing surgery and rehabilitation to women. Please donate so women can receive the treatment and loving care they urgently need to regain their lives. Thank you for your support
