OUR COMMUNITY PARTNER:

Glencoe Foundation Operation Cleft

The Glencoe Foundation was one of the first groups to participate in AFAP’s Community Partnership Service. Initially the focus was on education initiatives. However, over time these activities have grown to include poverty alleviation and most recently a health focus with “Operation Cleft”.

This year Glencoe activities have focused on Operation Cleft, which has enabled hundreds of people born with cleft deformities to have access to life-changing surgery by funding local surgeons to undertake cleft repair operations in Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh.
