is a children's charity. It has been set up some of the UK’s leading craniofacial surgeons so that children in desperate need, living without hope in the world’s poorest countries, can receive the miracle of a new face and a life free from the stigma of disfigurement.

We are here to offer facial surgery to children from poor countries across the globe that have no other chance of finding the surgery to help them overcome their disfigurement. We will also support the development of new ways of treating these devastating facial disfigurements through research. Facing the World has the medical resources, the infrastructure, the desire and the determination to change the life of these children who have no hope.

Thank you for helping Facing The World provide surgery to these children living with the problem of facial disfigurement. Your help could mean putting a smile on the face of a child.

Channel 4 Documentary

Facing the World were pleased to be approached by Firecracker Films in early 2005 with the proposal for a documentary commissioned by Channel 4 highlighting the courage and strength of the children and the families that live with stigmatizing facial differences in countries with no access to the required medical treatment.

For over a year Firecracker followed the stories of a number of our patients over the course of a year and has highlighted the stories of Arianto, Ney, Zaynab and Eyerusalem.

“My New Face” will be broadcast on Wednesday 15 November 2006 on Channel 4 at 9pm.
