Faces of Hope was established in 2005 to deliver corrective surgeries for children in Guatemala with the greatest need and the least access to medical care. We operate an annual medical mission to perform surgery to repair cleft lip and palates on the children of Guatemala. The medical mission is comprised of a team of medical professionals and non-medical volunteers who perform tasks to support the doctors and the patient families.
Your face is how you greet the world. In many ways our face determines our level of self reliance and is our passport to life itself. Children with cleft lips and palates frequently do not leave their homes, go to school, or even learn to speak clearly enough to be understood. We strive to help as many of these children to live lives of pride, self confidence and hope. It’s an opportunity to find that something simple, like a smile, can be the most important thing you can bring to someone else’s life.
In addition to the medical mission, the Faces of Hope Program seeks to empower our partners in Guatemala to supply resources to our partners who are working with those in need all year long.
