There is a medical condition that is easily corrected, is debilitating if not corrected, is generally cheap to correct, and only affects women. It is a huge problem in the developing world, currently thought to affect over two million women. The condition is known as an obstetric fistula. It normally occurs as a result of complications in giving birth and results in a tear between the vagina and the bladder or the vagina and the rectum. However, treatment urgently needs funding. If we all gave just a little each to help these women, it would make a big difference to their lives.

There are 39 million blind people in the world, but 80 per cent of blindness could be prevented or cured. That’s 31.2 million people who are blind when it could have been avoided.

We can help fund sight-restoring cataract operations in the developing world, protect people against river blindness, and treat people with trachoma antibiotics. Giving even a small amount will make a huge difference to their lives.

The Mankind Initiative:

“As a man, it’s very difficult to say you’ve been beaten up. It seems like you’re the big brute and she’s the daffodil, but sometimes it’s not like that.”

So read the words of an unknown “gardener” named Dave as quoted in a two-and-a-half-year-old post on The Independent, which informs us of the uncomfortable reality of female-on-male domestic abuse. The article goes on to about the Mankind Initiative, a UK-based domestic abuse charity aimed at giving hope to such men. One could find that and go “Oh good, at least someone is addressing the problem!”

Except that as of right now, the Mankind Initiative tells us on their own website that they only have funding until January of 2016.

The Mankind Initiative receives no government funding for it’s activities on behalf of male victims. Those include:
•A helpline for male victims that takes 1,600 calls a year from victims as well as concerned friends, family members and colleagues.
•This helpline actively works to help victims “and their children escape from the suffering they face at home.”
•Providing support, education and training for related agencies and volunteers.
•Giving a voice to male victims through research, public awareness campaigns, government consultations, and supporting concerned students, academia & public officials.

Please give generously to help keep this important charity alive:
