Today is Timket in Ethiopia, a special religious festival celebrating the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. We wish all our friends, patients and colleagues in Ethiopia “Melkam Timket”!

Did you know… Ethiopia has one of the richest and oldest Orthodox Christian cultures in the world. Their religious festivals are always an incredible and meaningful experience.

An incredible service 🙌 MAF is often behind the scenes, enabling fistula patients to come receive treatment at our partner hospital, or to transport our workers safely to remote and rural areas of Africa.

Every safe birth is a life saved and a fistula prevented.

At Barbara May Maternity Hospital, incredible things happen every single day – like welcoming Eysa’s healthy baby boy into the world 💙

For women in Afar, access to skilled care can mean the difference between life and death, or a joyful start to life versus ongoing pain and shame of a birthing injury. Thanks to the dedicated team at BMMH, Afar mothers and babies are getting the chance to thrive.

This is why your support matters. Together, we’re making childbirth safer and giving families hope for the future. 💕

Melkam Genna (Happy Ethiopian Christmas)!

In a remote region of northern Uganda building a hospital of this scale is an incredible feat!

Someday soon our muddy footsteps will be replaced with the feet of women who have walked from nearby villages to be able to access safe, skilled and dignified maternal health services FREE of charge.

Excitement is building, and rightly so!

Aisha is a fistula patient who was healed at a fistula camp last year. Here she is just 2 days after surgery. By the time she left, the transformation in this shy young lady was incredible.

To read her full story and see her beautiful smile, visit: https://barbaramayfoundation.com/stories/aishas-story-of-restored-hope/

P.S We've got more fistula camps planned this coming year - your ongoing support means more women and girls can have their dignity restored.

What do you give ‘someone who has everything’ at Christmas? Here’s a unique and meaningful idea:

Give the gift of hope, encouragement and practical support to life-saving hospitals serving poor and vulnerable women in Africa.
