Reconstructing Women International

In Dar es Salaam, a 17-year-old girl arrived after a motor vehicle accident with a severe fracture to her lower leg and exposed bone. Injuries like this often require complex microsurgery…care that is unavailable in many parts of the world and frequently results in amputation.

For this young patient, that might have been the outcome. Instead, the RWI surgical team performed a delicate procedure, transferring muscle and skin from her back along with its blood vessels and reconnecting it to her leg using microsurgery. The operation was a success.

RWI has spent years working alongside local surgeons to teach and expand microsurgical skills in Tanzania. A key partner in this effort is Dr. Edwin Moringo, who has collaborated and trained with Dr. Andrea Pusic and the RWI team for more than a decade.

This partnership is more than surgical training - it is a lasting collaboration that is changing what is possible for patients and giving young people like this girl a chance to keep their limbs and their futures.

In Turin, inspiring women from around the world came together to raise awareness and support reconstructive care for women in need.

Through medical missions, education and global collaboration,
Reconstructing Women International (RWI) helps restore not only bodies — but confidence, independence and hope.

Because every woman deserves access to reconstructive surgery.
Because together we can change lives.
