"Have you heard of obstetric fistula?"
Most people haven't. That's why we at the Fistula Free Climb chose to raise money for OperationOF.org by climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.
According to OperationOF founder Seth Cochran, "Obstetric fistula is really one of the worse possible fates that any human could ever endure. Despite the fact that OF affects women, it is not a women’s issue – it’s a human rights issue. We have had the technology to fix this terrible curse cheaply for over 100 years, yet there are 2 million women living with OF, 150,000 new cases every year and only enough doctors trained to treat 10,000 women annually."
Watch the video to learn more about obstetric fistula and imagine what I'd be like to be leaking urine

right where you're sitting,
