Peer Support Groups bring together fistula survivors from the same regions to build community, foster emotional healing, share knowledge, and launch collective businesses. Each group selects a fistula survivor to be their leader/coordinator. We currently operate 3 Peer Support Groups that meet monthly and engage in group business ventures – two have pooled sufficient funds and are in the process of purchasing one sheep per woman, with long term plans to also purchase a cow for each woman.
The confidence and empowerment these leaders gained through the programs inspire them to bring hope, understanding, and practical help to other women in their villages.
