Cleft Lip and Palate campaign Visionary Drive for 50 Cleft Surgeries

Join our Cleft Lip and Palate surgery campaign in collaboration with the Pakistan Cleft Lip and Palate Association

Every year, more than 9,000 babies—approximately one in every 530 births—are born with a cleft, a serious condition that leaves a gap in the lip or palate. This condition challenges their ability to eat, speak, and smile, depriving them of essential aspects of childhood joy and well-being.

We are launching a campaign of hope and healing. Our goal is to perform 50 life-changing cleft surgeries in a single month. For each child, this means more than just a surgery—it’s the return of a smile, a renewed sense of confidence, and the promise of a brighter future.
