Partnership to end childbirth injuries
Our Approach
WFF partners with local leaders and organizations in low-resource countries to increase their own capacity to address women’s maternal health needs. Our Four Pillar Model of action is embraced by all partners.
Country Partners
We believe solving global problems such as devastating childbirth injuries requires a commitment to collaborate with, support, and develop local leaders. We work with country partners in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Uganda, Niger, and Ethiopia.

Learn More About Holistic Care
“Fistula is treatable as well as preventable. When we sensitize our communities about safe motherhood, we are not only preventing fistula, but we are also addressing other childbirth-related complications and death. For me, I find it rewarding if only I can help another young girl not go through the pain and humiliation that I went through.”
