Lorpu
Lorpu is a 20-year-old woman from Liberia who has suffered from obstetric fistula since the age of 17, following a traumatic childbirth experience that resulted in the loss of her baby. For over three years, she has faced social stigma, isolation, and the emotional toll of her condition, which has left her with incontinence and depression. Despite her struggles, Lorpu remains hopeful for treatment amid the challenges posed by a lack of medical resources and support.
