Here are some of the flower gardens around the buildings of the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital. Dr. Catherine Hamlin, the co-founder of the hospital, has long believed that lovely gardens are an important adjunct to curing the physical and psychologic damage the patients have suffered.
In an effort to reach more women with obstetric fistula, new satellite hospital facilities are being built in five outlying areas of Ethiopia. The newest center, in Mekele, just opened in February 2006. This is a view of the new main ward. This facility was largely built with donations from both the Australian government and the Australian Hamlin Fistula Trust.
Few photos more clearly demonstate the plight of woman in Ethiopia than this picture of women carrying stones from a construction site. Women often are the ones who literally do the heavy lifting in the fields and job sites.
This woman is making gravel by smashing rocks with a hammer. She does this job all day long to supply needed aggregate for concrete mixed on the job site.
