International Organization for Women’s Development (IOWD)

The Quinn Foundation has supported free operations for repair of vaginal fistula in young woman in Africa.

An article in the Wall St. Journal about IOWD prompted the Quinn Foundation to become involved in this program. The trustees of the Quinn Foundation met with the founders of IOWD and learned of their high output of volunteerism for week long medical missions in Africa. The Quinn Foundation has helped to fund missions in Niger, Africa for the repair of vaginal fistula in young women and currently in Rwanda for female urinary incontinence and vaginal fistula.
