Cleft Surgery:

Children with cleft lip and palate are likely to face bullying or teasing. Sufferers with cleft lip or palate are less likely than non-affected peers to marry. In Uganda babies with cleft are called 'Ajok' which means sadly means 'cursed by God' In many parts of the world babies with cleft are killed or abandoned after birth.

Every year more than 170,000 children are born globally with clefts.

Abdul's Story:

Abdul Basit was borne with Cleft palates, unlike normal children he was unable to eat and smile. He had cleft surgery at our hospital and now looks like a normal baby.

With generous support from donors like yourself we are able to carry out this free surgery which costs just £150 to help children like Abdul Basit smile.

It cost just £150 to give Abdul his smile back.



Ramadan 2013 Target:

This Ramadan we aim to generate funds to carry out 100 Cleft Surgeries.

By donating the amounts below we can achieve our target!

£150 for one cleft surgery

£300 for two cleft surgeries

£600 for four cleft surgeries

£750 for five cleft surgeries

£900 for for six cleft surgeries

Clean Water:

People are suffering and lives are lost every minute and every day needlessly because of a lack of safe water and sanitation.

With your support we help local communities have easy access to clean water to end this global crisis and transform lives. According to the UNOCHA only 30% of the population in Somalia has access to safe drinking water sources. Our water-well projects are helping people to access clean water at their door step.

Omer and family from Somalia are happy

Omer is 43 years old from Somalia and father of 5 children and living in Belet-Alkarim village where we have installed a well.

"The main problem in the area is lack of clean water. People have to travel very far and our children have to help us to collect water. The whole village and especially children suffer from time to time from various diseases mainly, typhoid, diarrhoea, bilharzias and malaria which are caused by unclean water. I am happy now we have a well near our house."

Over 6000 people are benefiting from this well.

Zain, his cousins and friends having fun

Zain is from Shikarpur,in Sindh, Pakistan, where underground drinking water has been contaminated since the disastrous 2011 floods. We have installed hundreds of hand pumps in flood affected areas to help children like Zain to have access to clean water at their door step.

 £6000 can build a water filtration system
 £1000 could help install a agricultural tube well
 £2500 could help dig a community well
 £300 could help install an electric pump
 £200 could help fix a water pump
