CRANIOFACIAL PROGRAM

Being Human partnered with Maaya Foundation to provide free treatment to children with severe facial deformities, also known as Craniofacial Deformities. These deformities are congenital and vary in type and severity. A child with craniofacial deformities has difficulty breathing, eating and with speech. In addition to this, the child faces social stigma. Through this program, we aim to reach out to children living with these deformities, across India.
As of April 2017, 130 children have been treated through this program
