Freedom From Fistula has its own projects in Sierra Leone, Malawi and Madagascar and also partners with other facilities in these countries.

Our vision is for all women in Africa to have access to healthcare during pregnancy and childbirth and to help eradicate obstetric fistulas.

Malawi

Our 35 bed unit, in the grounds of Bwaila Hospital, has its own dedicated operating theatre and the capacity to treat more than 400 women every year, many of whom are found through our Ambassador and community sensitization programs that ensures women and girls from across Malawi have access to our permanent service.
