ZURI AWARDS 2022

Humanitarian Choice AWard

The founder of the SAWFF – Sharon Korir was awarded as a Honoree under Humanitarian Category for supporting, impacting and changing lives of women with Fistula in the community.

We're on a mission to end
fistula Stigmatization, one woman at a time.

Although we primarily focus on obstetric fistula often resulting from childbirth, we also support women with Fistula resulting from rape, cancer, early marriages and female genital mutilation. We provide the much-needed awareness and timely responses with a view to safeguarding the dignity and wellbeing of the survivors and also making Fistula a normal condition that women need not be suffering from.

Sharon Korir

Our Founder

Sharon Korir is an Obstetric Fistula Survivor, diagnosed with the condition after the birth of her second child. She is a mother of two, Lawyer by profession and currently a Law Teacher.

After being discharged from hospital with her baby, a few weeks after, she realized she had a problem when passing urine and feacal matter. She had no control and the passage routes seemed interchanged. 

After seeking medical attention for this embarrassing condition, she was diagnosed with Recto- Vaginal fistula. This was a traumatic experience, which made her totally lose her self esteem and she isolated herself completely. She had to undergo a corrective surgery and many months of doctors’ visits until she got healed. She really wanted to question God but all in all she give him back all the glory. She named her son Israel meaning (Wrestled or Triumphed with God). It wasn’t easy but all glory goes to Him. 

Sharon’s foundation is a safe space for Fistula patients and survivors to share, and encourage each other as well as seek solutions to their condition. It is also a means for creating awareness that seeks to inform, educate and bust myths around obstetric fistula. 

Women also build relationships and connections which bring about mental healing since we are cultured in a society where Sexuality matters is considered a taboo.
