Giving Philosophy

The foundation believes no woman should suffer in silence from a preventable childbirth injury when a cure exists. Their theory of change focuses on direct service delivery through world-class medical treatment, training local Ethiopian healthcare professionals, and raising awareness in Australia about maternal health disparities. They operate with the belief that restoring women's dignity and physical health transforms entire communities.

Wealth Source:Not applicable - this is a charitable foundation funded by public donations, not a wealth-generating entity. Dr. Catherine Hamlin was a trained obstetrician-gynecologist who dedicated her life to medical service in Ethiopia after arriving in 1959. The foundation's resources come from individual donors, corporate supporters, and fundraising events rather than commercial wealth generation.

Tips for Applicants

This foundation operates as a direct service provider rather than a grantmaker to external organizations. Individuals cannot apply for grants; instead, supporters raise funds through designated campaigns. Midwives and healthcare professionals may be able to participate in Ethiopia visits by fundraising. Corporate partnerships are available for businesses wanting to sponsor specific surgeries, hospital equipment, or training programs.
