Comprehensive Care for Children with Facial Cleft/Cleft Palate

Health

Transforming lives with a promise of renewed self-esteem and comprehensive care that opens doors to a world of possibilities for children, ensuring each smile nurtured is a future brightened.

Solutions

Recognizing the critical need for support in children born with facial clefts and cleft palates, we embarked on a transformative journey in partnership with Akila Bharata Mahila Seva Samaja (ABMSS) to offer comprehensive care to children affected by this diformity. 58% of our Health Care vertical budget has been dedicated to this cause, enabling almost 5000 life-changing procedures since 2017 through multiple centers.

Our approach integrates not just surgical interventions but also orthodontics, speech therapy, and nutritional guidance. This holistic support system has proved its functionality over the years, particularly as we navigated the challenges posed by COVID-19. By safely conducting over 450 surgeries with the aid of 1,824 PPE kits, we were able to ensure continuity of care, thereby reaffirming our commitment to comprehensive welfare and nurturing support.

Benefits

The impact of our cleft care program extends far beyond physical health, fostering an environment where children and their families find renewed confidence and societal acceptance.

Our initiative has seen a significant increase in timely interventions, with 45% of children receiving care before the age of 3—which is critical for their social and psychological development. These outcomes underscore the power of accessible healthcare and comprehensive support, enabling children to not only tackle physical challenges but also achieve a sense of belonging and a rise in self-esteem.

Through our continued commitment, we aim to cultivate hope and empower children to lead fulfilling lives, reinforcing the importance of holistic well-being and reinvigorated self-assurance in building brighter futures, one smile at a time.
