Caristers lives in Kenya and has cleft palate, and in Kenya the sort of specialty medical care Caristers needs is scarce. There are 100 million children in the world just like Caristers who have little hope for the future.
Many can't play with their friends or go to school, and when Caristers grows up, things that we hope for like marriage or finding a job will be difficult or impossible...all because Caristers has a curable disability! But you can change Caristers's life forever.

About Caristers

As Philister, Caristers’ mom, told me, when her eldest son first saw his little sister, he was so shocked that he literally had to step out. Other relatives came to him for mini counseling sessions, explaining that cleft lips and palates were treatable and that soon, Caristers would look like him. Now the “soon” timeframe has past, and she does indeed look like a whole new baby. And as we wait for her to get old enough for her palate surgery, I’m praying that her brother will simply accept what happened so that he won’t miss the opportunity to go through this process alongside her.
