About Deutsche Cleft Kinderhilfe

From the first day, we have been dedicated to one mission: to help children who cannot help the fact that they were born with a cleft – a happenstance that massively affects their daily lives.

Our effort to help children with cleft lip and palate is based on an international network. Behind it are many passionate people who are committed to advancing our mission. Our association is based in Freiburg im Breisgau. In our project countries, local teams provide the care and medical treatment to the patients. German volunteer doctors support our local partners with their specialist expertise. Cooperations with other international aid organizations let us provide even more help around the world. Numerous funders in Germany and abroad such as charitable foundations, businesses, and our many private donors make our work possible. Some have been doing so for many years, thus enabling us to provide sustainable, long-term aid.
