Happy New Year!
 
Let's welcome 2024 with open arms!
 
We've been given another year to make a difference, fulfill our dreams, and strengthen our connections to one another. Not everyone made it this far. So let's embrace the riches what we already have, family, friends, livelihoods, whatever it maybe for you, and let it ignite our souls, hearts, and minds to making this the best year ever!

Beyond Fistula helps women and girls in Africa who have recently undergone surgical repair for fistulas rebuild their lives after surgery through counseling, vocational training, and scholarships. If left untreated, obstetric fistulas can lead to physical and mental suffering, including constant urinary incontinence, social isolation, skin infections, kidney disorders, and death.
 
 
Friends for YouthFriends for Youth matches underserved youth with caring, adult mentors with an emphasis on positive youth development, social-emotional health and wellness, prevention services, and critical skills for future self-sufficiency.
