Comfort and Care Upon Arrival

For almost two decades, Almaz, a nurse aide, has been welcoming women at the start of their healing journey. 

When patients arrive at Hamlin’s Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital, she is there to offer kindness and reassurance: “They are often very distressed. However, when I translate for them in their own language, it feels as though they have already begun to heal.” 

Almaz believes the gift of a Comfort Package has a profound meaning: “It symbolises warmth and care. This small gesture can have a significant impact on their emotional wellbeing during a challenging time.” 

For Almaz, the most rewarding part is seeing women return to health — something you help make possible.  Thank you for making this possible. 

Your generosity gives women the strength and hope to begin their healing journey.

By the time they leave, they are filled with hope and happiness. It’s truly heartwarming to witness their recovery and new beginnings.
