Facing the World is a children's charity which has been set up by the some of UK's leading cranio-facial surgeons. It helps children with severe facial disfigurements in desperate need, living without hope in some of the world's poorest countries, receive the miracle of a new face and a life free from the stigma of disfigurement.

Foundation for the Relief of Disabled Orphans' (F.R.O.D.O) principal mission is “To transform the quality of life, provide hope, and empower physically and mentally disabled orphans in developing countries.” Our broader objective is to improve the quality of life for children in desperate need: the abandoned and orphaned (principally, though not exclusively, those who are disabled), the abused, those with life-threatening illness and children who are at risk due to extreme poverty. It is unique in its work of identifying orphans and abandoned children with disabilities or life-limiting conditions, striving to provide medical treatment in the hope that this will transform their quality of life, and increase the number of opportunities for them to fulfil their potential.
