Description
IMPACT has developed several programs where they operate on cleft lip and palate:
On the hospital train “Lifeline Express” in India, on the floating hospital “Jibon Tari” in Bangladesh, and on mobile camps in other IMPACT countries. Many thousands of operations are performed each year at an average price of NOK 700 per operation.
Cleft lip and palate is a congenital condition and without treatment it is bothersome and painful. Children struggle to eat, which can lead to malnutrition and thus other disabilities. In a cleft lip and palate, it is easy to become inflamed and there can be an open wound. The condition is treated with plastic surgery. Children in poor parts of Africa and Asia often have to live with this because they do not have access to treatment. There are many thousands waiting for treatment, your contribution is important!
Imagine a girl who has had problems for years, where food has been difficult and one feels like a burden to the family. Then it is fantastic to be offered a free operation that corrects all these worries, and she and her family have a better everyday life. Give 700 kroner today – it helps to help!
