Treatment Helps Numan Speak Normally

Having a cleft lip and palate means children like Numan can have problems eating, speaking, and even be denied the chance of a school-place.

Since we helped Numan get treatment for his cleft lip, he has started school and finds it easier to eat. We recently visited him again to check how he was, and see if he needed more care. New advances in cleft palate care and speech therapy in the capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, mean that we can offer more treatment to help children like Numan eat, speak and smile.
