Comic Relief

In 2017, Project Harar received a 3-year grant of £113,000 from Comic Relief for a cleft and nutrition programme in the far north-western region of Afar. We plan to recruit 480 children for cleft surgery or nutritional support, and provide their mothers with education about diet and feeding for a child with cleft. We will also train 350 health workers on all aspects of cleft and complex facial conditions so that they are able to assist with recruitment and referral.

We were fortunate in 2014 to receive funding of £200,000 over 3 years for a cleft programme in the remote Somali region of Ethiopia. Despite the challenges of distance and drought, we were able to treat 540 young people for cleft and train 150 health workers in the identification of cleft and referral to Project Harar for surgery. 

2020 Update: As a result of the sustainability of this programme, 50 young patients have been identified and referred to Project Harar for treatment for cleft lip and palate.

    Over 30 families access cleft treatment in Debre Tabor

    Project Harar continues to provide access to treatment for children with cleft lip and palate, this time in Debre-Tabor. It is absolutely vital that we can continue to provide these services, as environmental and political issues gain momentum in Ethiopia, it is increasingly more difficult for families to seek cleft treatment. We are partnered with the Debre-Tabor Hospital, and in May we were able to treat over 30 families who came from different towns in the Amhara region.
