The Faisal Foundation

The Faisal Foundation is a global nonprofit dedicated to improving access to life-saving medical care for infants born with cleft and craniofacial conditions. In alignment with its child-centered mission, the Foundation also partners with trusted organizations delivering child development and enrichment programs, providing strategic funding to support holistic outcomes for children and families in underserved communities.

What distinguishes The Faisal Foundation within the cleft and pediatric health space is its sustainability-driven model and open-collaboration framework. Beyond direct support for infants with cleft conditions, the Foundation intentionally partners with and funds smaller, often overlooked charities that serve orphans and children with disabilities who require additional medical, developmental, and social support. Rather than operating in isolation, the Foundation strengthens the broader ecosystem of care, amplifying impact by enabling local and grassroots organizations to scale their missions responsibly and sustainably.

Our programmatic framework is aligned with the World Health Organization–supported Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) specifically:

SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being

SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities

SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals

SDG 1 – No Poverty

SDG 5 – Gender Equality

SDG 4 – Quality Education

This alignment ensures that The Faisal Foundation's work delivers measurable health outcomes while advancing equity, collaboration, and long-term community resilience.
