You can help more children like Hawa and Tumpale

The longer babies and children with cleft conditions have to wait for treatment and care, the more likely they are to suffer from serious health conditions such as malnutrition – and harmful discrimination.

With your help, we can reach more babies and children with cleft conditions who are waiting for care, and make sure they receive the treatment they urgently need. Thanks to you, babies like Tumpale will grow up free from damaging stigma and humiliation.

Your support has the power to save and change children’s lives. And, together, we can look forward to the bright smiles of a generation that has the chance to fulfil all its hope and promise.

Please make your donation now and help deliver life-saving treatment and care to children in urgent need.
