After two decades of living in shame and isolation, 45 year-old Sara Awinja a resident of Emurumba village in Kakamega County finally checked into Cherangany nursing hospital and is scheduled for repair.
Back in 2004, she underwent a difficult, horrific and prolonged labor at home that resulted in a stillbirth and the devastating child birth condition~obstetric fistula.
She’s lived in such great discomfort, embarrassment and struggled to conceive with no success. Despite being supportive, her husband took on two more wives.
Thanks to a recent fistula outreach activities by our team in her home area, today her hope to live a normal life has been restored.
