Sarah Omega has been a close friend and partner of One By One for the past year. She is a fistula survivor from Kenya who has dedicated her life to the treatment and prevention of obstetric fistula. Sarah became pregnant after a traumatic sexual encounter when she was 19. The pregnancy resulted in fistula, a condition that she lived with for 12 years. In that time, Sarah was humiliated by coworkers and abandoned by the man who she was supposed to marry. Now recovered, Sarah shares her full story. Since her recovery, Sarah has been an advocate for women living with fistula. Sarah wants women living with fistula to know that life isn't over after getting the condition. She has partnered with One By One and our mission to treat and prevent obstetric fistula. Sarah is a leader in the field of women's advocacy and an amazing person. Recently, Sarah has been working with reporters, telling her story of fistula and her mission of outreach. Her story had been published in a Kenyan newspaper, the Daily Nation! Please read her full story and learn about all that she has done for women living with fistula.
