Giving the Gift of Smiles Since 2010
We restore hope and provide a brighter future for children whose lives are burdened by cleft lip and cleft palate. Since 2010, we have completed 19 Medical Missions and more than 1,000 life-changing surgeries across the world!

When my baby was born, she had a cleft lip. I was shocked, sad and worried. I didn’t know what to do. When she was a few months old, I saw that Mending Faces was coming to Santo Domingo, so I contacted the hospital. Thank goodness my daughter was able to have the surgery. I’m so happy and grateful to Mending Faces. My baby will grow up with a beautiful smile! - Mother of a patient
While it's hard to digest the happenings of a week-long Medical Mission, the volunteers are what make everything exceptional. Regardless of race, religion or country of origin, everyone comes together. The results speak for themselves: an impoverished, but extraordinary group of children, have reason and ability to smile and communicate without fear or limitation.
