Hamlin Fistula Australia Limited (HFA) was established by Dr Catherine Hamlin, her family and friends in 1996. The generosity of donors has enabled HFA to provide funds for the massive expansion in the work of the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital including the establishment of regional centres and the creation of the Hamlin College of Midwives.
There are funds similar to HFA in New Zealand, UK, The Netherlands and Sweden.
Donations and bequests continue to be used to support the core purposes of HFA and the Hamlin Fistula Relief and Aid Fund which are to provide funding for the treatment and prevention of obstetric fistulas suffered by women in developing countries and to raise awareness of this distressing condition.
Ever since the establishment of the Hamlin Fistula Relief & Aid Fund, all money received has been allocated to support the work of Dr Catherine Hamlin and Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia.
Donations to HFA are allowable deductions for Australian income tax purposes.
