LETS END FISTULA INITATIVE
#1 Making Motherhood Safe for every woman
About Our Organisation
Let’s End Fistula Initiative (LEFI) is an NGO registered under section 10 0f the Non-Governmental Organizations Co-ordination Act after being in operation as an implementing program under One By One (a US-based Non-Governmental organization that is now known as Worldwide Fistula Fund after as successful merger) for 7 years.
Let’s End Fistula Initiative (LEFI) is committed to ending fistula by finding and linking the hard-to-reach fistula patients with life-transforming fistula treatment opportunities, providing supportive opportunities for women and girls to rebuild their lives following surgical treatment, and empowering fistula survivors to serve as community-based educators for prevention work (Safe motherhood).
Our Story

A fistula survivor herself who had lived with this devastating condition for twelve years before receiving treatment, Sarah had a personal mission to find other women who were suffering in silence and connect them with treatment services.
