PROGRAMS & PROJECTS.
As part of our mission, Operation Cleft Australia is dedicated to providing free cleft repair surgeries to underprivileged children in Bangladesh. Through our partnership with DCKH, we aim to offer more than 1,500 surgeries annually, empowering these children to lead fulfilling lives and become valuable contributors to their society.
Community Outreach
Empowering communities in Bangladesh is a crucial part of our work. We engage in various outreach programs to raise awareness about cleft lip and palate surgeries, through surgical camps, and to support families through the decision to get surgery.
Educational Initiatives
Education plays a vital role in breaking the stigma associated with cleft lip and palate. We conduct educational programs to promote understanding and acceptance within communities, fostering a more inclusive environment for children with cleft conditions.
Empowering Families
Medical Training
We are committed to empowering families by providing the necessary resources and support for children born with cleft lip and palate. Our aim is to ensure that every child has access to the care and assistance they need.
Operation Cleft Australia is dedicated to building local medical capacity by providing training and resources to medical professionals in Bangladesh. By sharing knowledge and expertise, we aim to improve the quality of cleft repair surgeries and post-operative care.
