Surgery is not the end of the journey.

For women living with childbirth injuries, healing takes time. After treatment, many must regain their strength, rebuild their confidence, and re-enter the communities they were once forced to leave behind.

The physical healing is only one part of recovery. There is also emotional and social healing, and the slow process of returning to daily life.

Over time, our partners saw that treatment alone was not always enough. Some women needed additional support as they recovered. They needed community and the chance to rebuild their lives.

So, together with our partners, we began building a rehabilitation program. This program is a place for women to continue healing, regain physical and emotional strength, and reconnect with their community.

At the center of VHP’s Screen, Transport, and Treat Program is Aira Hospital.

Aira Hospital has become a leading center for women’s health in western Ethiopia. Today, women arrive from some of the most remote and underserved areas to receive care they could not access anywhere else.

At Aira, patients are treated by dedicated medical teams who are committed to restoring health and dignity. When cases are too complex, the system does not stop there. Women are referred to specialized care at the renowned Hamlin Fistula Hospital in Addis Ababa, ensuring they receive the treatment they need.

This is what real access to care looks like. We are not just reaching women, but building an entire system of care that can treat them.

Because every mother deserves a chance to heal.

At first, we had to search for women in need of care.

Now, they are finding us.

In communities across western Ethiopia, women are sharing what they’ve learned. They are telling their neighbors, their sisters, and their friends that treatment and healing are possible.

And when our partners arrive to screen patients, they are no longer met with silence.

They are met with lines of women waiting.

Women who have come forward.
Women who are asking for help.
Women who now know they are not alone.

This is how change begins: not just by reaching women, but by building trust and creating a system where women know care exists and feel empowered to seek it.

Reaching women in need of care is not simple.

In the remote villages of western Ethiopia, many women live hours or days from the nearest health facility. Some cannot travel. Others do not know that treatment is possible.

So we go to them.

Through our Screen, Transport, and Treat Program, local partners travel deep into rural communities to find women living with treatable childbirth injuries. They work with community leaders to raise awareness and build trust so women feel safe coming forward.

This work is not easy. The region is affected by ongoing conflict, and reaching these communities can be dangerous and unpredictable. But still, they go.

Because no woman should be left to suffer simply because of where she lives.

And when a woman is found, the journey is not over. We help ensure she can reach care and that treatment is available when she arrives.

This is how healing begins.

Miraje lives in a remote area of western Ethiopia.

When she went into labor with her first child, she labored at home for more than ten hours without a trained birth attendant. By the time she reached a hospital, she required surgery to deliver her baby. Afterward, she developed a childbirth injury that changed her life.

She lived with constant discomfort and isolation. She withdrew from her community. Like many women, she could not afford the care she needed.

For years, she suffered in silence.

Through VHP’s Screen, Transport, and Treat Program, Miraje was identified and brought to Aira General Hospital for treatment. Her first surgery was not successful.

But she did not give up, and neither did the care team supporting her.

After a second surgery, Miraje healed.

Today, she is no longer living in isolation. She is back in her community, living her life with dignity and connection.

Her journey was not easy. But healing was possible.

There are still women waiting to be found, who are waiting for a second chance like Miraje’s.

With your support, we can reach them, bring them to care, and help restore their lives.

Elfinesh lives in a remote area of western Ethiopia. When she went into labor with her first child, she labored for hours at home without any trained support. By the time she reached a hospital, she was on the verge of death. Her life was saved, but her baby was not.

In the years that followed, she lived with a childbirth injury that caused constant leakage of urine and deep physical and emotional pain.

She became isolated from her community. She could not afford treatment.

For three years, this was her reality. Until she was found.

Through VHP’s Screen, Transport, and Treat Program, Elfinesh was identified, transported to care, and received the surgery she needed to heal.

Today, her health has been restored. She is no longer living in isolation. She is back in her community, living her life again.

Healing is possible. But too many women are still waiting.

Your support helps us find them, bring them to care, and restore their dignity.

During an early visit to Ethiopia, as we searched for a way to intervene in the maternal health crisis, we met Waktole.

We found her in her hut, waiting to die. She had a fistula, and urine ran freely down her legs. She was depressed and debilitated. Her family sold all of their livestock to cope with the economic devastation of her illness, leaving her without reliable sources of protein-rich food.

She could no longer care for herself and her family. VHP ensured that she was treated for fistula so she could regain her dignity and her ability to live her life fully.

After surgery, everything changed. Waktole was no longer in constant pain or isolation. She was able to return to her community, to care for herself again, and to begin rebuilding her life.

Her story is not unique. There are still women suffering from treatable childbirth injuries. Through VHP’s Screen, Transport, and Treat Program, we can reach them.

Every number in this report represents a woman whose life was changed.

Before treatment, many patients were unable to care for themselves, their children, or even leave their homes. After treatment, the vast majority regained mobility, independence, and dignity.

96% reported their lives improved.

This is the power of access to safe, quality surgical care.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the strength, love, and resilience of mothers everywhere.

But for too many women in rural Ethiopia, motherhood comes at an unimaginable cost.

Complications during childbirth can result in death or leave lasting injuries that rob women of their health, their independence, and their ability to care for their children.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Through VHP’s Screen, Transport, and Treat Program, mothers are given a second chance. They receive life-changing treatment and the opportunity to return to their families and communities.

This Mother’s Day, honor a mother by helping save one.

Your gift can provide screening, transportation, and treatment for women suffering from childbirth injuries.
