Sibajene lived 17 years with a cleft lip, with challenges at every turn. Today, she smiles with joy! Cleft conditions are debilitating, even life-threatening, as they make it difficult for a baby to eat. If not corrected, cleft conditions have huge social implications later in life, affecting a child’s face, speech, and ability to smile and communicate. Fortunately, cleft conditions can be quickly corrected by the world-class plastic surgeons at our CURE hospitals.

Cleft care is provided in partnership with SmileTrain.
