Pillar 01
Women's Health & Dignity
Improving maternal and reproductive health, restoring dignity and strengthening the everyday conditions that protect women and girls.
Why This Work Matters
Women should not lose dignity because care is out of reach.
Our health work combines treatment, prevention, community engagement and stronger links to care.
Extended Hands' experience in obstetric fistula provides a strong foundation for a broader women's-health platform built around dignity, access and prevention.
350+
Women & Girls Reached Through Fistula Repair Care
More than 350 women and girls have received fistula repair care through Extended Hands interventions.
Our documented history includes repair programmes in Cross River, Kwara, Ibadan, Kebbi and Sokoto, delivered with hospitals, specialist teams and programme sponsors.
Flagship Programme
Restore Her Dignity
Fistula repair is the beginning of recovery, not the end.
The programme combines free repair interventions with prevention, maternal-health education, specialist partnerships, reintegration, follow-up and outcome measurement.
TreatmentRepair surgery and medical care.
PreventionMaternal-health education and community referral.
RecoveryFollow-up, psychosocial and reintegration support.
LearningTrack outcomes beyond the operating room.
Our Health Pathway
Identify → Treat → Recover → Reintegrate → Learn
Our ambition is to build a continuum of care around women, rather than treating surgery as the only outcome.

Campaign Film
Watch Hygiene First
Behaviour change works better when people can see, discuss and share the message.
The campaign video is part of the Foundation's established hygiene advocacy and helps communicate practical health and hygiene messages to wider audiences.
Programme Platform
Safe Motherhood
Prevent avoidable harm before it becomes a crisis.
Safe Motherhood focuses on maternal-health education, birth preparedness, early referral and stronger connections between communities and appropriate health services.
Health Systems
Support the places where women receive care.
Where appropriate, we work with health partners to strengthen facilities and service delivery tied to clear programme needs.
Equipment support should be needs-assessed, linked to an identified facility and connected to measurable service outcomes.
