Operation New life has been set up to provide support for fistula women in the West African country of Niger. We are undertaking a major project to build a hospital to operate on and provide health care for the these women, many of whom are just young girls. Permissions, plans and professionals required for such an undertaking have been secured.
To get the hospital built we need your help to raise.
