Every three minutes, a child is born with a cleft condition. 94% are born in in places like Zimbabwe where poverty and little access to healthcare care leaves them at risk of malnutrition, isolation, and heartbreak. Cleft surgery is especially limited in Zimbabwe with an underresourced health system and limited specialists. Children with cleft palates struggle to eat, often get sick, and face exclusion. Speech delays hinder connection and communication, causing deep emotional pain and rejection.

The hospital provides a range of services, including screenings, surgical procedures, nutritional support and post-operative care.
