Healing and Dignity for Annita

Annita was only 16 when her baby died as she was giving birth. Her crushing loss grew when she began to leak urine uncontrollably after her labour. Annita had fistula.
“I felt bad because I was wet all the time,” Annita said. “It was difficult to go anywhere. It is shameful to be wet all the time.” Girls like Annita are often mocked and ridiculed for their condition. And they can’t afford medical treatment.
Fistula leaves these beautiful girls feeling ashamed, alone and feeling worthless.
Because of someone like you, Annita received the medical and heart healing care she needed at our partner hospital. She said, “I feel better. I have found many other women with fistula. I have seen women healed. I have hope.”
