About Us
​
Haven Vesicovaginal Fistula Foundation is a 501(C)(3) organization and your gifts are tax deductible.
Haven Vesicovaginal Fistula Foundation (HVVFF), is an initiative focused on providing corrective surgeries, post-surgical treatment, Psychological counseling and other support services for women living in Africa that are affected by Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF). At HVVFF, we provide these women with tools to deal with the VVF, which can eliminate or minimize some (if not all) negative effects associated with the condition. Reducing or eliminating these effects will improve these women’s lives.
​
Our goal is to progressively address many, if not all, issues surrounding VVF women in Africa. Some of our services include but are not limited to, enrolling such women in an empowerment program designed to teach skills for sustainable livelihoods and appropriate techniques after surgery and recovery.
​
Each woman is unique. This quality allows a woman to create and live by her own definition of beauty. Most, if not all, of us will agree the World is much better because women can control their own standards of purity and beauty.
