Testimonials

Here are some kind words from people who have been impacted by our works.

Surgery Support & Care At FibFA Fibroid Foundation Africa, we stand beside women who face the emotional and financial weight of fibroid surgery. Many women struggle with basic expenses during treatment, so we provide a small token to help with essential needs such as transportation, medications, diagnostics, and hospital-related costs. This support brings comfort at a difficult moment and reminds each woman that she is not alone.

Surgery Support & Care Shared with permission

I went through fibroid surgery in 2022 and faced new challenges afterward. The Foundation linked me back to a doctor and supported me with a token as I went for further procedures. Their help made the process easier, and I felt cared for every step of the way.

The support I received during my treatment brought relief and hope. I didn’t feel alone. It meant more than words can explain.

Naomi Ekumfi Asakyire (2025)

I was not alone. The follow-up calls from the Foundation helped calm my nerves. The small support I received also made it possible for me to pack up and leave the hospital with ease.

Maame Afua Tema

Through Fibroid Foundation Africa, I went through a successful surgery without paying anything. They linked me up with a doctor who gave me all the care I needed after living with this condition for almost 18 years. Let support their work to enable them support other women.
