In their words

“Marsabit County being marginalized; the fistula cases are very high. This is because, it is hard for the women to access timely and quality healthcare. But we are going to change the narrative and restore the dignity of the women battling fistula and consequently put an end to this menace called fistula.”

“Fistula can be corrected. The only treatment for Fistula is a reconstructive surgery which costs up to Kshs. 250,000 and is done by very few Specialists in Kenya and we are happy that it is readily available here at Nyambene Level 4 Hospital for free, with the help of our Partners.”

“Most of the women in Marsabit hide their condition because they are ashamed. Some can stay with Fistula for two, three years.”
