Bridging Gaps: A Global Journey in Women’s Health with Kate Grant

After leaving a successful advertising career, Kate Grant set out to find work with deeper meaning. That search led her to a hospital in Ethiopia, where she witnessed women suffering from obstetric fistula—a preventable childbirth injury that had left them incontinent, isolated, and forgotten.

Moved to act, Kate joined the Fistula Foundation. What began as support for a single hospital has grown under her leadership into a network spanning 32 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia—restoring health, dignity, and hope to thousands of the world’s poorest women.
