Cleft lips and palates
Child with cleft lip and palate

Why repair them?

  • Can’t suck - babies malnourished and fail to thrive;
  • some babies abandoned at birth;
  • some tribes have specific names for individuals with cleft - ‘Ojok; - cursed by God;
  • cleft children often don’t attend school - teased;
  • cleft adults can be rejected and do not marry.

The cost to repair 1 cleft lip and change a life: £50
