Together with ReSurge, Kupona Foundation secured funding from longstanding partner Johnson & Johnson to facilitate reconstructive surgery training for medical teams in Tanzania. A CCBRT surgical team, as well as clinicians from other facilities, benefited from this training. Kupona Foundation was the prime grantee for this award. Kupona Foundation received all funds from Johnson & Johnson and distributed to CCBRT and ReSurge International as sub-grantees, according to signed agreements.In 2016, Kupona Foundation also hosted an art exhibition (Kupona Foundation did not own the art) in New York City as a creative way to raise awareness of one of the key global health causes we champion, obstetric fistula. Using art as a vehicle for storytelling and community engagement, Kupona was able to connect with new supporters and members of the international fistula community. The project mobilized support and increased awareness of the partnerships and programs working to eradicate obstetric fistula, including CCBRTs role as one of the largest providers of comprehensive obstetric fistula treatment in the world. Kupona Foundation received both financial and in-kind support from partners, including Johnson & Johnson and UNFPA, to facilitate the execution of the project.
