OUF & CLAPP: Transforming Lives Through Cleft Surgery

Together, We Give Smiles, Restore Confidence, and Change Futures

For many families in Pakistan, a child born with a cleft lip or palate faces far more than a physical challenge. Beyond eating and speaking difficulties, they often experience social stigma, isolation, and limited opportunities. For families living below the poverty line, accessing surgical care is nearly impossible. This is where compassion meets action, and where One Ummah Foundation (OUF) and CLAPP (Cleft Lip & Palate Association of Pakistan) step in to create life-changing impact.

Through years of partnership, OUF and CLAPP have provided thousands of children with free cleft surgeries, giving them a chance to thrive in a society that might otherwise marginalize them. And now, as we expand our efforts toward supporting the new hospital dedicated to cleft care, this mission becomes even more urgent and more powerful.

A Partnership Built on Compassion and Impact

The collaboration between OUF and CLAPP is more than a charitable initiative; it’s a movement. Together, they have brought hope to children in cities and rural areas alike, ensuring they receive the medical care they deserve.

Recently, in Multan, Dr. Fayyaz and his skilled team performed 54 surgeries in a single day, transforming 54 lives in just one session. Each surgery, costing $400, represents a family’s chance to see their child live confidently, speak clearly, and smile without fear.

This is the tangible impact of your generosity: one donation, one surgery, one child’s life changed forever.

Beyond Surgery: Transforming Lives

A cleft surgery does more than fix a physical condition. It restores dignity, enables better nutrition and speech development, and helps children integrate into school and social environments. With a multidisciplinary approach, including surgeons, speech therapists, and post-operative care, CLAPP ensures every child receives comprehensive treatment.

Families often travel long distances, sometimes across provinces, for this chance. Your support not only covers surgery but also ensures follow-up care and ongoing support, maximizing the long-term benefits for each patient.

Building a Hospital With Heart

The vision is clear: a dedicated hospital where 100% of donations go directly to surgeries, making cleft care accessible to all who need it. This hospital will:

  • Provide free or subsidized cleft surgeries
  • Offer pre- and post-operative care
  • Include speech therapy and rehabilitation programs
  • Expand outreach to underserved communities

Your contribution today builds a foundation for countless smiles tomorrow.
