The Foundation’s main task is to help address the challenges associated with cleft lip and palate in Ghana through advocacy, awareness creation, and access to care. In Ghana, awareness and understanding of cleft conditions remain very limited, and children born with cleft lip and palate are often stigmatized and not readily accepted by society, leading in some unfortunate cases to infanticide. These children are otherwise healthy and normal, with an orofacial condition that can be successfully corrected through surgery. However, many of them struggle to eat, speak, and interact confidently with others, making it difficult to attend school or participate fully in normal social activities. Once the condition is treated, both the children and their families are able to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.

Due to the limited availability of specialized skills, healthcare resources, and multidisciplinary care required for cleft treatment in Ghana, the overall cost of care including feeding support, transportation, surgery, and hospital-based treatment is often beyond the financial means of many patients and their families. The Foundation therefore plays a vital role not only in creating awareness about cleft conditions, but also in facilitating access to quality treatment, supporting affected families, and building capacity through training and skills development for healthcare professionals.

The Foundation is committed to restoring hope, dignity, and confidence to individuals born with cleft conditions through comprehensive and compassionate care. The Foundation works closely with local and international partners, healthcare professionals, volunteers, and communities to ensure that patients receive not only surgical treatment, but also the necessary psychosocial support, speech therapy, nutritional guidance, and follow-up care needed for full rehabilitation. Through outreach programs, education, and training initiatives, the Foundation continues to strengthen healthcare delivery systems and improve the quality of life for children and families affected by cleft lip and palate across Ghana.
