Help Find, Heal and Empower Women Every Day

Become a Hamlin Regular Giver and join a group of compassionate and committed individuals determined to change the future for Ethiopian women.

Right now, an estimated 30,000 Ethiopian women are suffering in pain, shame and isolation with horrific childbirth injuries. Around 1,000 new cases of obstetric fistula occur each year.

We urgently need your support to help find, heal and empower these women so they can regain their lives.

Together, we continue to move closer to achieving Dr Catherine Hamlin’s vision of eradicating obstetric fistula. Forever.

Why are Regular Givers so important?


Joining our community of Regular Givers is the most impactful way you can help women with childbirth injuries in Ethiopia. 

Regular donations are the most reliable source of income and allow us to plan ahead to deliver the best care and support for women.

For just £2.10 a day, less than a coffee a day, you can restore a woman’s life through life-changing treatment and loving care after untold suffering from a horrific childbirth injury.

Because of this injury, I was divorced, faced discrimination from my own family, and was unable to care for my daughter. I used to lead a desperate life. Hamlin has not only fixed the injury, but also my life. No words can express my gratitude.

- Elfinesh

The support of Hamlin Regular Givers is transformative for women like Elfinesh. After losing her second baby and enduring a double obstetric fistula during childbirth, Elfinesh was shunned by her community and had no source of income. 

After receiving multiple fistula repair surgeries over a six year period and a tailored education program at Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia, Elfinesh now runs her own shop which provides a stable source of income for her and her daughter, Netsanet.
