30 Years and Over 3,000 children treated!
Operation Restore Hope Australia was founded by Dr Darryl Hodgkinson in 1993 to help less fortunate children in the Philippines with birth defects and deformities especially cleft lip and palate. Since it held its first charitable mission in 1994, the charity has operated on more than 3,000 children and provided other medical services such as paediatric care, dentistry, orthodontia and speech pathology.
The goal of Operation Restore Hope Australia, in conjunction with our Filipino partners is that no child in the communities in which the charity operates should have to go to school without their lip and palate repaired so that they can have the basic dignity and opportunities offered to other children.
