No Woman Left Behind

A Journey of Hope to Heal Every Woman Injured in Childbirth

By: Kate Grant

Narrated by: Kate Grant

INSPIRATION FOR HOW TO CREATE A LIFE OF PURPOSE, NO WOMAN LEFT BEHIND IS THE UNLIKELY STORY OF HOW ONE WOMAN LEAVES MADISON AVENUE AND TACKLES THE GLOBAL MATERNAL HEALTH CRISIS HEAD ON.

The day a woman gives birth is also the day she is most likely to die or suffer severe injury—a sobering reality that comes into sharp focus when Kate Grant visits the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia’s capital. There, she sees row after row of beds occupied by young women afflicted with obstetric fistula, a childbirth injury that leaves them incontinent and too often shunned by their communities, modern-day lepers. She soon learns that surgery is the only way to end their suffering.

In No Woman Left Behind, Grant recounts her decision to abandon a promising advertising career, and the ups and downs of building Silicon Valley-based Fistula Foundation from a modest start-up into the global leader in fistula treatment. Through vivid firsthand accounts of surgeons toiling in remote corners of Africa and Asia, we see inside the fight to restore hope to some of the world’s most vulnerable women.

A compassionate army of donors spanning nearly 70 countries makes such life-changing care possible. Grant demonstrates the profound power of individual action to change lives at scale, since Fistula Foundation takes no government money. No Woman Left Behind is a compelling personal journey and a how-to guide for anyone looking to make a lasting difference in the lives of others.

100% of the net proceeds received by Fistula Foundation from this audiobook will be made available by the Fistula Foundation to Fistula Foundation.

Loved this book from start to finish!

As a 52 year-old woman who recently founded a fistula nonprofit serving women in Uganda (The Musa Project), I felt like this book was written just for me. I learned so much, cried many times and have so many take-aways. Thank you to Kate for her honesty and transparency. I feel like her baby sister in this fight to end fistulas in the developing world. Absolutely inspiring!
