Medical Missions

The goal of every medical mission is to fulfill a child's greatest wish: the chance to be normal.

Our unique and successful mission medical mission model is the foundation for providing safe surgeries for children around the world and building a long-term sustainable solution.

We mobilize medical professionals across the globe to treat children with cleft lips, cleft palates, and other facial deformities, and leave a legacy of trained medical staff, surgical equipment and professional partnership to help carry on the work after our mission team has left.
