Overview
I am a fistula survivor living in a Kenyan refugee camp. In 2013, I had a miscarriage and received such poor medical care that I developed a fistula. I studied law and have a BA. I want to write a CBO project regarding girls' fear in refugee camps, with the goal of eventually raising awareness about women's health in the camps.
My goals are become a motivational speaker and create a community to raise awareness and call it "Girl Talk". I intend to set an example in this community and leave a legacy for my fellow refugees.
I need money to protect the land that I own and to help me begin raising awareness for "Girl Talk".
Meeting this need will allow me to begin helping women in refugee camps in getting the help they need and letting them know they are not alone.
