Faces of Fistula

The media team on board has a brilliant campaign on instagram.

Faces of Fistula

The team has portrayed each woman beautifully, giving her a chance to express herself.  Each lady was asked to provide two words.  The first describes herself before surgery, before healing.  The second describes her as she is now.

There are so many more still awaiting surgery.  But the Africa Mercy will not be providing those surgeries.  Not right now.  Perhaps at some future date, Mercy Ships will return to Madagascar.  Soon we will leave these shores.  But we are leaving behind hope.

The Freedom From Fistula Foundation is taking over the OBF Clinic we leave behind.  Here are two more faces; two young ladies who now have hope.
They hope to one day have their own portrait on the wall behind them, their own healing captured for the world to see.
