Many fistula survivors dropped out of school when they became pregnant or when they developed a fistula. Our school program helps these girls and young women return to their education by supporting them in primary and secondary school (elementary and high school) and offers them safe lodging with emotional support at our Beyond Fistula House. Our partner, The School Fund, helps to offset some of the costs for their uniforms, school fees, and books. Some of the girls are supported for further training in a local technical college.
Today we have 14 primary and secondary school students with 37 graduates and 8 college and technical school students with 13 graduates to date.
