EDUCATIONAL TOOLS
Protect Your Sister Project has designed and globally patented multiple 3 dimensional tools that are made to be easily understood by anyone in any culture. These unique and important tools can be used to help to prevent fistula, as well as to explain to women who have developed obstetric fistulas, how they developed it and how they can be treated.
A POWERFUL TOOL
This simplified pelvis teaches about obstructed labor. It shows a baby in a pelvis, growing inside a uterus, with a bladder in the front and a rectum in the back. This educational tool teaches what a fistula is, how it develops and how it can be treated.
UNDERSTANDING THIS COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING
This is an intentionally simplified, and easily understood educational tool that shows the most common cause of obstructed labor— the head of the infant is too large to pass through the pelvic outlet. This basic concept is often not understood in many areas throughout Africa.
We have designed and patented intentionally simplified anatomical educational dolls which can show obstructed labor and normal delivery. These tools can help explain to villagers, who may be illiterate, the basics of anatomy and help to normalize the concept of a Cesarean Section.
For just $50 * we can provide more outreach workers with these educational kits. We are currently trying to provide kits for women in Kenya, as well as Ethiopia and Madagascar.
*This costs includes paying for the materials necessary to make the kits, as well as the wages, food, housing and transportation for our seamstresses to come together for two weeks per month to make the kits. There are no administrative costs associated with any donations made.
