Facing Africa is a registered UK Charity that sends teams of volunteer surgeons to Ethiopia on two-week missions to carry out complex and lengthy facial reconstruction on the young victims of a disease called" noma". Noma is a flesh eating disease of extreme poverty and malnutrition that attacks children under the age of six. It causes unimaginable pain and discomfort and the victims are treated as social outcasts. The World Health Organisation estimates 140,000 new cases of noma every year. Tragically, 90% will die within 3 - 4 weeks of getting the bacteral infection. The remaining 10% will lead miserable lives with terrible facial deformity. Help us to fund more missions to Ethiopia, one of the poorest countries on earth
