About

Kelvin is a young student whose father has abandoned him, his brother, and his mother. She had an obstetric fistula from giving birth that made it very difficult for her to work. Kelvin is close with his grandparents but his mother struggles to keep the family housed and there are days they only have one meal. He wants to succeed in school along with his brother.

During a recent trip to Eldoret, Beyond Fistula's founder Debbie Matityahu was able to hear that Kelvin's 2025 school year was going "well, he is learning a lot and doing is homework more independently when at the Beyond Fistula House."

    Cecilenza is a beautiful 11 year old girl from Kisumu county in Kenya. She was born with a congenital fistula and for this reason her father left her mother and her. Her mother used Cecilenza to solicit money from people due to her urine leakage. Cecilenza underwent several unsuccessful fistula surgeries including a colostomy before she was rescued by Beyond Fistula for better medical attention and education. Cecilenza would like to be a nurse when she grows up.
