The Fistula Free Climb is made up of a team of current students and professionals from around the world. Our global team members, or Fistula Free Climbers as we’d like to call ourselves, are fully dedicated in making the FFC a once in a lifetime, unforgettable and successful trip with the goal of raising $100,000 for OperationOF.org.

Our Philosophy is that the more people become Fistula Free Climbers, the more people will find out about obstetric fistula, the more money we can raise and most importantly, the more women we can help. Imagine yourself reaching the summit of the tallest mountain in Africa, seeing lions, elephants and rhinos in the Ngorongoro Crater and changing the lives of some of the world’s most marginalized women.
