2020 Mission
87 Life Changing Cleft Surgeries, over 400 eye glasses distributed, 60+ Healthcare Providers educated in BLS & ACLS, 6+ Donated Breast Pumps distributed.
Each year, UI conducts a two-week medical mission to provide reparative surgical care to indigent children born with facial deformities, primarily clefts of the lip and palate.
Uplift Internationale relies on health care professionals and others who donate their time and expertise. Please note all of our volunteers are self funded.
Every donation counts — our care is provided without cost to the children or their impoverished families, and with minimal burden to the host hospitals.
