Do it for her!
Just imagine…
💔 Enduring days of agonising obstructed labour
💔 Delivering a stillborn baby and sustaining a horrific childbirth injury
💔 Leaking urine uncontrollably because of your injury
💔 Walking barefoot for 25 km over difficult terrain to receive medical care
💔 Feeling immense physical and emotional pain
💔 Often doing all the above alone.

Our country [Ethiopia] is very mountainous and it’s difficult to traverse. The average walk for our patients is two days to a main road and so their difficulties are enormous.’
