Freedom From Fistula Madagascar is currently taking part in the national coordination meeting bringing together all organizations involved in the fight against obstetric fistula in Madagascar.

The event, organized by the Ministry of Public Health, is ongoing in Mahajanga, having started yesterday, 19 November, and continuing until 21 November 2025.

Main objective: to establish joint strategies to eliminate obstetric fistula across the country.

We are proud to stand with all partners working to improve the lives of Malagasy women affected by this condition.

Today we mark World Children’s Day – 20 November.

Children everywhere are speaking up about their lives, their hopes and their rights.

At Freedom From Fistula, we help protect those rights by providing safe maternity care in Malawi and Sierra Leone. In Sierra Leone, we also offer free primary healthcare and immunisations for children aged 0–15, helping protect them from serious illnesses like malaria.

At our Aberdeen Women’s Centre, we support children and young people who have experienced sexual and gender-based violence.

Children matter.

At Freedom From Fistula Madagascar, the return to life begins here, within the care and warmth of the clinic.

Braiding is part of Malagasy women’s culture and a symbol of beauty and connection.
Here, our patients once again take joy in braiding each other’s hair, sharing smiles, laughter, and moments of togetherness.
Simple acts that reflect friendship, dignity, and hope. 💖🌿🌸

Embroidery has become a beautiful way for the patients at Freedom From Fistula Madagascar to express their gratitude, joy, and healing.

Through these colorful and delicately stitched handkerchiefs, they share their inner strength and journey of recovery.

This activity is part of the Patient Rehabilitation, Education and Empowerment Program, which ensures that patients enjoy a pleasant stay during their hospitalisation while preparing them to reintegrate into their communities once healed.

A simple art filled with meaning — a symbol of hope and transformation. 💖🪡🌸

A fistula patient sharing her story is vital to raising awareness and prevention of obstetric fistula.

The team at our Aberdeen Women’s Centre in Freetown, Sierra Leone, have just concluded Fistula Ambassador and Referral Friend Training.

These wonderful people will now be able to reach women and girls suffering from this awful condition and help us to treat them.

Healthcare Heroes in action 💕
