𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 We continue to train surgeons on the ground, equipping them with essential skills.

Project for Women in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania 🇹🇿 This week, our team is in action on two fronts! In addition to the mission previously announced in Addis Ababa, we are also present in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, with a special focus on the Project for Women. With 8 participants from Cameroun, Ethiopia, Burundi and Zanzibar and 3 specialized trainers, we have launched a one-week workshop to provide essential reconstructive care to 6 female patients affected by obstetric recto-vaginal fistulas. 🙌✨ In addition, 3 surgeons will receive certification at the end of this mission, marking an important step toward autonomy and the expansion of reconstructive care for women. This dual mobilization reflects our unwavering commitment to support and strengthen local capacities, helping women regain their dignity and a renewed sense of hope. 🌱 👉 Let’s keep working to bring hope, autonomy, and dignity. 🌍 Together, we rebuild lives. #2ndChanceInAction #2ndchance #wetrain #GlobalHealth #MedicalTraining #GlobalHealthcare #EngagementHumanitaire #PositiveImpact #ReconstructiveSurgery #CareforWomen #ProjectForWomen #RestoringDignity
