Why leave a gift to Hamlin Fistula UK?
Dr Catherine Hamlin’s vision was to eradicate obstetric fistula in Ethiopia. She devoted her life to women living with fistula, giving them love, hope and the opportunity to regain their lives.
It is now up to us to finish what she started – to ensure future generations of Ethiopian women live free from fistula.
A gift in your Will is a thoughtful and easy way to leave a lasting legacy that reflects your life’s values. By naming Hamlin Fistula UK in your Will, you will be making an enduring contribution to the prevention and treatment of obstetric fistula in Ethiopia.
My main reason for leaving a legacy is that I want to do something to make a difference. It brings me great joy to know that my gift will be healing and changing lives.
Manuela, Hamlin Fistula UK supporter
