Success to the Cast and Creative Team of RUINED- Raising Money for Fistula Victims

CONGRATULATIONS to Professor David Mold, the cast and creative team of RUINED who raised $2700 to fund operations for 6 women suffering from fistula!

The donations will be given to the Fistula Foundation, which supports medical treatment at the Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, where fistula treatmean surgery is provided for free, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Set in the war ravaged Democratic Republic of Congo, Ruined presents the lives of young women living and working in a rain forest bar and brothel run by the enterprising Mama Nadi. Mama offers a safe haven for these young women from the military forces of both the government and rebels. At the same time, she profits from their lives. The play brutally depicts how the bodies of these young women become the battlefield for both sides and how people maintain their humanity in the most inhuman of circumstances.

Further donations can be made by going directly to the Fistula Foundation’s website (below).

The website is www.fistulafoundation.org.
