Fistula-Free Girls and Young Women

Fistula-Free Girls and Young Women is an advocacy campaign that seeks to strengthen and support community-level health committees and volunteers in promoting maternal health, maternal health care-seeking and family planning, to help reduce girls and young women’s risks of obstetric fistula.

Fistula-Free Girls and Young Women is an advocacy campaign that seeks to strengthen and support community-level health committees and volunteers in promoting maternal health, maternal health care-seeking and family planning, to help reduce girls and young women’s risks of obstetric fistula. The project seeks to reduce the huge backlog of women awaiting life-altering fistula repair, ensuring that these women receive timely and quality care from trained providers through mobile clinics in Wakiso district. Similarly, the project works to foster community support for victim survivors of fistula through reintegration into community development and education. Likewise, the project seeks to remove barriers to maternal health services that put women at risk of obstetric fistula. Fistula survivors are trained and supported to work as peer educators and ambassadors while gaining a more understanding of their reproductive health rights to access better services. Moreover, schoolgirls become more aware of their SRHR and prevention of early unwanted pregnancies thereby reducing the chances of getting fistula. The advocacy initiative has been supported by AmplifyChange for two years from 2024-2025 and is implemented together with Slum Youth Rehabilitation and Development Organisation.
