AWA’S STORY

In a rural town in southern Senegal lives 5-year-old Awa, surrounded by her loving family. She has always been close with them – especially with her Uncle Woury. Since the moment Awa was born with a cleft lip, her uncle’s greatest wish was that she would someday find healing.

Join Awa and her family on their faith-filled journey of hope for a different future.

We need your partnership to help more children like Awa. Please make a gift today to help provide more life-transforming surgeries.
