Imagine being stuck living through shame, social stigma, and isolation, all because one is born with a cleft lip.
It was forty years of being shunned and ridiculed for Amna, until she heard the news on the radio that a medical team was in Sudan promising to repair cleft lips, something she didn’t realize was possible. Immediately, Amna prepared for the 4-day long journey from her village to the hospital. Sold her livestock, left her young children in sheer desperation to access a life-changing surgery.
Your generosity has the power to make a positive change in the lives of those born with a cleft lip/palate. Check out Amna’s story to learn about the impact a 30-minute surgery had on her life.
