Founded by Drs Catherine and Reg Hamlin in 1974, the organisation is now a healthcare network of 550 staff servicing six hospitals, a rehabilitation centre, and the Hamlin College of Midwives.
Over 60,000 women have received free treatment and the network operates purely on philanthropic donations. When you buy a Fair Trade or ethically made gift from our online store, the proceeds support the work of Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia, helping to restore the lives of these brave, beautiful women.
