Every year, more than 200,000 children worldwide are born with a cleft lip and/or palate.
In many countries, this condition remains untreated – either because specialized medical care is unavailable or because the necessary treatment is simply unaffordable for families.

The consequences are severe: affected children not only suffer from health problems but often also face exclusion, ridicule, or are even hidden away.

Cleft-Children International CCI has been dedicated for many years to giving these children new life perspectives.

We make life-changing surgeries possible, provide comprehensive follow-up care, support speech and nutrition therapy, and train local doctors and medical staff.

In doing so, we not only offer immediate help – we build lasting structures and create a future that makes a difference.
