Overview

Mission

Cleft care international was formed with the intention to issue grants of funds and goods to support the important work of foreign non-governmental organizations around the world that provide comprehensive cleft care to children in need. Our vision is for every child to be free to grow, learn, pursue education, communicate, and thrive. The scope of our work is to support through grants of funds and goods the comprehensive care of children and adults born with cleft lip and palate. Specifically, we seek to support organizations around the world who perform surgeries and provide comprehensive pre- and post-surgical care to those with no financial means to pursue the care themselves.

What it reported doing in 2024

Surgery: many low-income countries face a shortage of surgeons who specialize in performing cleft lip and palate repair. And even where surgeons are available, reparative surgery is out of reach for many families without the means to pay for surgery and all the costs that surround it. Teams of volunteer surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals regularly travel to low-income countries to provide their services for free, but there are still several costs for the surgery, including facility fees, the cost of supplies and medication, and other costs such as transporting and housing the family from their oft-distant homes to the location of the surgery. Cleft care international supports programs that organize, coordinate, and execute surgical cleft missions.
