Terrewode Women's Fund Board President Carolyn Anderman said it so well, speaking at our Virtual Gathering for Kindness, Care & Courage on December 2nd:
"I think we would all agree that the world feels especially difficult and chaotic right now. Many of us are searching for ways to make a meaningful difference – to show kindness and compassion where it’s most needed."
As a kind and caring community, Terrewode Women's Fund shows up for women and girls in Uganda because they deserve better than the healthcare system that's failing them. We show up and support specialized care, social support, and reintegration services for women and girls with obstetric fistula and other devastating childbirth injuries.
"The exceptional care provided at Terrewode Women's Community Hospital restores a woman's dignity, helps her heal from profound trauma, and equips her with the skills and confidence to reclaim her life."
Other highlights from our event:
Video clips of fistula survivors who spoke with Terrewode Women's Fund Executive Director Bonnie Ruder during her most recent visit to the hospital.
