No Woman Left Behind: A Journey of Hope to Heal Every Woman Injured in Childbirth (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781647426705)

INSPIRATION FOR HOW TO CREATE A LIFE OF PURPOSE, NO WOMAN LEFT BEHIND IS THE UNLIKELY STORY OF HOW ONE WOMAN LEAVES MADISON AVENUE AND TACKLES THE GLOBAL MATERNAL HEALTH CRISIS HEAD ON.

The day a woman gives birth is also the day she is most likely to die or suffer severe injury--a sobering reality that comes into sharp focus when Kate Grant visits the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia's capital. There, she sees row after row of beds occupied by young women afflicted with obstetric fistula, a childbirth injury that leaves them incontinent and, too often, modern-day lepers who are shunned by their communities. She soon learns that surgery is the only way to end their suffering.

In No Woman Left Behind, Grant recounts her decision to abandon a promising advertising career, and her journey building the Fistula Foundation from a modest start-up into a global leader in fistula treatment--offering renewed hope to impoverished women in more than thirty countries. She shares powerful stories of dedicated African and Asian doctors who restore health to these women, as well as a compassionate army of donors spanning nearly seventy countries who make such life-transforming care possible. No Woman Left Behind is an invitation to join a growing global movement committed to empowering some of the world's most vulnerable women to reclaim control over their bodies--and their destines.

100% of the net proceeds from No Woman Left Behind will go to Fistula Foundation's Love-a-Sister program to fund free surgeries for women with childbirth injuries.
