The Schweizer Hilfe für Spaltkinder
(SHfS) is a non-profit, humanitarian society with the purpose
to help children affected by cleft lip and palate malformation in
developing countries. We make every effort to support cleft children
with the best and most comprehensive treatment possible so that
they are socially integrated, go to school and lead a normal, carefree
life.
Together with the likewise non-profit society Deutsche Cleft-Kinder-Hilfe
e.V. (German Cleft-Children's Aid Society) with headquarters in
Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, with which we are associated, we
set up treatment centers in which we
- train native doctors and medical personnel,
- equip the corresponding hospitals with material and apparatus,
- take over the medical costs of the needy patients, and
- help with educational projects to inform the people.
In all projects we pursue sustainability; we promote
the development of cleft centers and aid measures, which will be
managed exclusively by native teams sooner or later.
