WHAT WE DO

Mending Faces restores hope and provides a brighter future for
children burdened by cleft lip and cleft palate. Since 2010, we have
completed 20 medical missions, providing life-changing surgeries to
more than 1,000 children and awarding over 50 educational
scholarships.

Most recently, our February mission to Kalibo, Philippines, served 55
children, and our May mission to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic,
provided surgeries for 35 children. Our volunteer team—including
plastic surgeons, anesthesiologists, dentists, nurses, and outreach
personnel—donates their time and expertise, covering their own travel
expenses to participate.

Our goal And Mission

Our mission is to restore hope and provide a brighter future to
children whose lives are burdened by cleft lip and cleft palate. We
partner with local organizations to deliver essential surgical and
dental care during medical missions, while offering a continuum of
care that includes speech therapy and school scholarships.

Upcoming Missions

Our upcoming 2027 medical missions are scheduled for the Philippines
in January and the Dominican Republic in May.

How you can help

Children born with these conditions often face significant challenges,
including nutritional issues, respiratory infections, speech
difficulties, and low self-esteem. Your donation allows us to provide
these life-changing surgeries free of charge, giving children the
opportunity to lead healthy, productive, and fulfilling lives.
