Patients like this little cutie are waiting for us

In April 2022, GSF and GSF-MENA teams provided life-saving care to patients born with cleft lip and palate thanks to your support.

This humanitarian cleft care service included:

75 patient screenings and evaluation for surgery
35 surgical procedures performed
21 nutritional consultations
31 speech and language sessions
80 oral hygiene sessions

The currrent situation in Lebanon is dire, with 80 percent of the population living at or below the poverty level. The ongoing financial crisis in the country has impacted everyone, and those at lower end of socio-economic spectrum have suffered from the lack of even basic needs, including healthcare.

Your contribution is truly making a life-saving difference for children born with cleft and their families. Thank you for being part of the GSF team.

We hope that you will follow our November 2022 project!
