Restoring Smiles & Renewing Hope — CLAPP Hospital

Article image

There are moments in life when a single act of kindness changes everything. For someone living with Cleft Lip or Cleft Palate, that moment is the surgery that gives them back their smile, something many of us take for granted.

At CLAPP Hospital, that smile is more than cosmetic.

It is dignity.
It is healing.
It is transformation.

For many individuals, living with a cleft condition means enduring challenges that affect not only physical appearance, but also speech, confidence, social acceptance, and emotional well-being. Many of them have spent years covering their faces when they laugh, talking as little as possible in social settings, and avoiding eye contact, not because they lack worth, but because society often fails to see it.

This is where compassion steps in.
This is where collective humanity makes a difference.
This is where YOU become the turning point.

OUF is proud to stand behind this important cause, supporting cleft surgeries and advocating for wider access to treatment. We encourage others to step forward and join this movement of compassion and healing.

The Power of a Single Surgery

A Cleft Lip or Palate repair costs around $400 — a life-changing intervention that many families simply cannot afford. But through the support of donors and well-wishers, CLAPP Hospital continues to provide these surgeries to those who need them most.

$400 does not just fix a medical condition.

It restores speech
It restores confidence
It restores hope
It restores identity

Because when someone finally looks in the mirror and sees a smile they never thought possible that moment is priceless.
