The scope of the project is to provide the possibility for Ethiopian women suffering from prolapse of the uterus to afford surgical intervention.

Prolapse of the uterus is a highly debilitating disease that is quite widespread but not very well known. In most cases, those Ethiopian women suffering from the disease prefer to keep it hidden rather than suffer the shame of disclosure.

Prolapse of the uterus is primarily caused by the physical challenges that many women in Ethiopia must endure on a daily basis, combined with a high rate of pregnancy.

This disease can cause the sufferer to be alienated from society, often leading to separation  from the husband, and sometimes, most dramatically, the abandonment of her children since she is not able to look after them.

Each surgical operation costs 250 Euro. All donations that we collect for this project will be transferred to “Centro Aiuti per l’Etiopia” who coordinate the project in Ethiopia. Our goal is to offer this surgery to as many women in need as possible.

As of today, thanks to “Operazione Donna”, more than 2000 women in Ethiopia have benefited from the surgical operation. There are many more women on the waiting list.

There is no minimum requirement for a donation toward “Operazione Donna”. Whenever we arrive at increments of 250 Euro, one more women can afford this surgery.

If you would like to make a donation specifically for this project, please specify “Operazione Donna” as the payment description on your bank transfer order.
