Over the past ten years, we have provided free cleft lip and palate surgery for hundreds of thousands of children. These children were suffering not because they were born with a cleft, but because they were born too poor to ever afford surgery. Being born with a cleft in a developing country is truly a curse. In fact, every baby born in Uganda with a cleft is given the name Ajok which literally means ‘cursed by God’. And no one knows how many newborns with clefts are killed or abandoned right after birth. The ones who are lucky enough to find a Smile Train free cleft surgery programme, not only survive, they thrive. After a 45 minute operation hands them back their future, and gives them a second chance at life that they never thought they'd get. |
