Alpro Product Donation
H.E.L.P. vzw is an organisation of physicians who, year after year, go to third-world countries to work as volunteers. So far, this non-profit organisation successfully treated 1500 children and young adults with all kinds of primarily congenital facial abnormalities. It mainly concerns so-called harelips and cleft palate disorders, which have a huge impact both on a functional and on a social and emotional level if these are not treated or treated at a later stage only.
Experience has shown that as these surgeries are not life-threatening, children from the poorest sections of the population are never treated for such harrowing malformations and thus doomed for a life in social marginality.
Obviously, these missions cost money, about € 25,000 per mission. The physicians themselves all donate € 1,000/year but unfortunately this does not suffice. Therefore, H.E.L.P. vzw is looking for financial support to help bear the costs. A helping hand from the Alpro Social Fund could make a world of difference for these children.
