What is Bright Start?

Bright Start is a monthly giving program that ensures children in Uganda and Myanmar access ongoing Comprehensive Cleft Care (CCC).

Despite many challenges, your support helps us fulfil the full circle of care from the day our local partners meet a child born with cleft, through their schooling, and beyond - helping them to lead full lives.

“I hoped that Bernard would be operated upon as an infant and would not undergo the same agony of stigmatization as when I grew up. Transforming Faces donors are making it possible!”

— Halima, Uganda

Bernard’s Care Made Possible by Bright Start

Halima was born with a cleft lip and palate. Lacking the required funds, she couldn’t access cleft surgery until she was 20 years old. Her childhood was marked by bullying and health concerns connected to her unrepaired cleft. She was determined to provide a better future for her son Bernard, who was also born with the condition.

Thanks to Bright Start donors, costs didn’t hold Bernard back from attending his first health consultation at 3-weeks-old. His cleft care journey of surgery and rehabilitative care will be supported by a local health team every step of the way, to Halima’s relief and delight.
