    About Us

    Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate and is often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places, these children are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life. This club is dedicated to educating about cleft lip and cleft palate, and increasing awareness of safe surgery and basic rights to health care to the wider community.
