During this program, many surgeons with various specialization rendered various types of corrective surgeries for children and adults.

Some corrective surgeries performed were VVF (Vesico Vaginal Fistula) repairs, removal of tumors, cataract extractions, cleft lip and cleft palate, repaired burns and contractures, repair of hernias, removal of fibroids and ovarian cysts, rebuilding of several deformities, etc.

In addition to rendering free operations, the beneficiaries who came from all over the country were given donated clothing and non-perishable foods.

Our Patron, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, did a special video recording for us inviting medical volunteers to come to Nigeria and participate in the program.

The video was aired on CNN for two months and many international and national medical personnel volunteered during the medical mission. 

110 patients were treated during the two weeks program.

Some of the deformities corrected on the 36 patients during the duration of the surgeries were: Axilla contractures, hand, elbow, chin and neck contractures, severe contractures of both legs, Ecthopions, massive keloids, severe foot contractures, etc.

36 patients were treated within the one-week program. The patients were men, women and children ranging from the ages of 3 to 68 years.

Our maiden humanitarian program brought awareness to causes, prevention and plight of children with Congenital deformities such as Cleft Lip, Cleft Palate and Syndactyly (Webbed fingers) in Nigeria.

Due to societal stigmas, many children with birth defects are considered outcasts in society.

During our medical mission, 20 children between the ages of 3 months to 15 years underwent free reconstructive surgery during the 5 days program.

Your donations and partnership made this possible.
