Reaching those Most Remote!

HOPE's Mothers' Clubs continue to be at the forefront of all of our projects, helping HOPE Foundation push forward into territory others cannot access. Our Mothers' Clubs continue to gain more responsibility for assisting in HOPE's projects, particularly HOPE's Obstetric Fistula program. The Mothers' Clubs are essential for HOPE to continue locating women who are candidates for obstetric fistula surgery as these women are truly difficult to find. They are hidden in the shadows and forced to live an isolated life due to the shame and embarrassment they bring upon their families resulting from the constant leaking of urine and feces. Other organizations are unable to identify these women because it is taboo to discuss them in the community. HOPE's Mothers' Clubs are not only working to educate themselves and their neighbors about what Obstetric Fistula is and how to prevent it, but are providing HOPE unique access into some of the most remote regions in order to take us to those women who really need help. They are assisiting HOPE to bring these women out of the dark and into a better life where they enjoy healing and reintegrating into their communities.

HOPE has come to continuously rely on the help from our Mothers' Clubs to publicize our campagins and raise awareness for our specialized care projects like cleft lip and palate. Without them those that are most in need would never hear about the work we are doing and would miss the opportunity to be given a second chance. HOPE is determined to keep establishing additional Clubs in order to reach never before accessed villages and bring quality healthcare to those who are unable to afford it. 

HOPE's Mothers' Clubs will be instrumental for our upcoming specialized care camps in Obstetric Fistula and Cleft Lip/Palate so stay tuned!
