Give Women Hope this Holiday Season with a Tribute Gift to FightFistula.org
One By One makes it easy to donate on behalf of a friend or family member and change a woman's life forever
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 13, 2007 -- One By One, a nonprofit organization committed to ending obstetric fistula worldwide, is making it easy to give the gift of hope to women this holiday season. By making a holiday tribute gift at FightFistula.org in honor of a friend or loved one, you can not only bring the season of giving to your inner circle, but also help women who have been devastated during childbirth return to normal, healthy lives. With a minimum donation of $15 on One By One's holiday giving site, One by One will send a beautiful Peace and Joy holiday card to your friend or loved one acknowledging your gift made on their behalf.
The One By One tribute gift is a great way to help everyone on your list make a difference in the lives of women suffering from obstetric fistula. Obstetric fistula is a devastating childbirth injury caused by prolonged and unrelieved obstructed labor that affects more than two million women and girls living in poverty in the developing world, robbing women of their dignity and young girls of their childhoods. Ninety percent of women living with fistula have endured the death of their babies during prolonged childbirth lasting up to five days. Because of their bodily injuries, fistula sufferers are often shamed, frequently pushed to the edges of society, unable to board a bus, enter a hospital, pray communally or share a meal with others. And yet as devastating as fistula is, it is both preventable and treatable; on average, treatment of fistula costs a mere $300. Donations are one of the most powerful ways of combating fistula, as resources make services and education for women possible.
