7. A CHAMPION OF
WOMEN AND GIRLS
In Somaliland, as in many developing countries, pregnancy is a high-risk
health condition and delivery can be life-threatening to both mother and
child. To help women and their babies survive childbirth in her country,
Edna Adan Ismail founded a hospital in 2002 with her own funds that
serves as a center for care and training.
Direct Relief has supported the Edna Adan University Hospital since
2005 with more than $1 million in medicines and supplies, and joined with
the Fistula Foundation to build a surgical block at the hospital with three
new operating theaters that have just opened. These facilities will vastly
increase women’s access to needed surgeries and interventions when
complications arise during delivery.
Among her many
accomplishments, Ismail was the first
EDNA
girl in her country to read, the first
nurse-midwife, and the former First
Lady. She also is a deeply committed
MATT MACALLA

This dynamic woman was featured DIRECTRELIEF.ORG
in Half the Sky, by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl
ISMAIL
WuDunn, for her groundbreaking work in championing the rights and
health of women and girls in Somaliland and throughout the Horn of Africa.
Never one to think small, Ismail plans to train 1,000 new midwives
which would vastly improve the chances that a woman in Somaliland
would have trained support present when it came time to deliver her
baby. This, ultimately, would save lives.
