Activity 2

One by one believes that ending fistula will require the partnerships of governemnts, individuals, corporations, foundations along with other community-based organizations both international and in the united states. As part of our strategic plan to build a movement as a means to end fistula, one by one conducts numerous programs and activities to achieve this goal. One of our programs is a us-based youth program called young global leaders. Each year in the fall we accept middle and high school students from seattle-area schools to join us for our year-long advocacy training program. The program offers the opportunity to learn more about obstetric fistula and one by one's work to eradicate it, as well as women's and girls'issues worldwide, global development, and complex public health systems. This program has two beneficiary groups - the middle and high school youth and the college-aged interns who lead the program.student participants have the opportunity to use and develop their leadership skills through various presentations and projects around the community at their local schools.we also offer ways for our us-based young global leaders to connect to our youth program in kenya. In 2012 we had 11 students graduate from the program. Six students went to washington dc and met with four lawmakers to discuss fistula-related funding from congress. Additionally, to add to their learning about how funds are lobbied for and moved they met with us aid, the office of global women's issues, care, the un foundation, unfao, the former chief of staff for representative carolyn maloney of new york and participated in the v-day rally on feb. 14th. The college-aged interns both teach this program and benefit from a leadership track that offers them curriculum in leadership, teaching and public health to equip them to be the best teachers possible during this program as well as equipped at future leadership on issues about fistula. This program is in addition to our work with us-based partnerships that aid our work to end fistula, public speaking, university engagement and other educational work to build awareness and a movement to end fistula.

Activity 3

Bugando medical centerone by one pursues research opportunities when we believe that the results will directly inform our planning of impactful programs.the results of the research we continued to support in 2012 may very well lead to many more women delivering their babies safely. We completed enrollment of 396 women in our ground-breaking fistula prevention study at bugando medical center. In partnership with philips healthcare and sonosite, we have been evaluating whether ultrasound can be used to identify women in early pregnancy that are at high risk of experiencing obstructed labor and developing fistula. We are looking forward to results being ready in 2013! If ultrasound proves to be an effective screening tool, this technology will help ensure that high-risk women receive the care they need during labor to prevent fistula.the study enrolled its final patient in october 2011. Study authors have spent the end of 2012 and the first half of 2013 analyzing data and writing the manuscript. Study results are expected to be published in fall 2013 after careful analysis.
