The power of medical care for every child
How we make a difference together
In a world where inequality is still the order of the day, there are fortunately initiatives that are trying to turn the tide. Since the turn of the century, we have been committed to providing children from underprivileged families in Peru with the medical care they deserve. We are proud to say that we have helped more than 7500 children with life-changing operations.
More than just an intervention
Our approach goes beyond the operating table. We offer a complete aftercare program that includes:
- Speech lessons
- Dental care
- Orthodontic treatments
- And more
This holistic program ensures that children can recover and grow not only physically, but also socially and emotionally.
The impact of our efforts
By treating children with conditions such as cleft lip and palate or spina bifida, we not only give them better health, but also a chance at a full future. We break the cycle of poverty and exclusion that often accompanies these conditions.
