Every month, project sponsors write about a specific topic. In June, Alexander Gross from Deutsche Cleft Kinderhilfe e.V. thinks about long-term and sustainable help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our help for children with the congenital deformity of cleft lip and palate has always been based on local medical teams and their local networks of relationships. This means that we build and use local structures to provide high-quality, cost-effective and, if possible, comprehensive care to affected children. Our aid projects are led by experienced surgeons who are usually financially independent because they live off privately paying patients. For them, helping children with clefts is, in addition to the surgical challenge, a way of giving something back to the poor people in their society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
