To empower society’s most marginalized members to make motherhood safer.  We engage fistula survivors in economic ventures by offering skills-based training and enrolling them in women’s economic development groups. This enables the survivors to reenter their communities empowered and able to transcend systematic causes of maternal mortality and morbidities like obstetric fistula.

Our core values define how we conduct ourselves as an organization. These are the essential and enduring tenants that will help our organization set boundaries and drive action throughout our finite existence.

Dignity - All people possess intrinsic worthiness and deserve unconditional respect. Any indignity is a direct threat to the collective dignity we all enjoy.

Empowerment - The accident of geography should never prohibit an individual from realizing their full potential. We remove barriers that keep that keep otherwise capable people from helping themselves and others.

Collaboration - Profound human achievement is a collective effort. There is no insurmountable difference that a deeply held common purpose will not transcend.

Sustainability - Lasting change results from resource magnification, not consumption. Intelligent deployment of capital combined with a tireless effort to identify and capture all resultant value ensures ongoing and increasing impact.
