SalaamGarage is currently building a team of media makers and storytellers to travel to Ethiopia in November 2010. On this trip we will explore the horrible and preventable birthing injury known as obstetric fistula. The causes, cures, and solutions to eradicating obstetric fistula entirely in the developing world lie in raising the status of girls worldwide.
Join Us in Ethiopia November 21, 2010- December 2, 2010
