WHAT WE DO
Mending Faces was founded in 2010 to make a life-changing difference for underprivileged children born with facial deformities. We conduct medical missions to provide surgical care for children born with cleft lip and cleft palate.
Healthcare professionals and outreach personnel donate their time and expertise, and fund their travel expenses to participate.
Our goal?
To help these children lead productive lives in their communities and offer a continuum of care through our commitment to the geographic areas that we serve.
The Medical team includes plastic surgeons, anesthesiologists, surgical technicians, dentists, and nurses.
More than $1,000,000 ($12,500 estimated cost of surgery x 80 patients) in free surgical services is provided during the annual mission. The care is provided at no cost to the families.
