The NCF helps people with craniofacial disorders pursue their dreams

People born with craniofacial disorders such as cleft palates and cleft lips often face hardships growing up due to bullying and social pressure. In some cases, congenital disorders like microtia may even result in deafness.

Stephany Yang takes us to meet some of the people they assist.
