Cleft Lip & Palate Urgent
Laiba is 7 years old and lives with her parents and siblings in Swabi. Her father works as a daily-wage labourer and earns barely enough to feed the family.
When doctors at Shahida Khaliq Hospital examined Laiba, they confirmed that she needs surgery: Cleft palate repair (palatoplasty). The family has already spent what little they had on tests and medicines, and cannot afford the operation.
“We have been told the operation will change Laiba's life. We just want to see her smile and play like other children.”
– Laiba's father
The family has been assessed by the hospital and is eligible to receive Zakat. Your pledge of any amount brings Laiba closer to surgery. As soon as her operation is fully funded, the hospital will book her in and share an update here.
