Medical Missions & Programs

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

Our unique and successful 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 volunteers across the globe to treat children with cleft lips, cleft palates, and other facial deformities, and leave a legacy of trained medical professionals, surgical equipment and professional partnerships to help carry on the work after our team of medical volunteers has left.
