Transformations

These parents see their child’s life transformed before their eyes.

A typical mother and father walk through our hospital door holding their child. This family owns nothing more than the clothes they wear.

Their child is disfigured. Others in their village have been told it is the mom’s fault for a past sin. These parents are sometimes told that killing the baby is a reasonable option.

Operation of Hope has a history of delivering solutions. Hours later, these parents see their child’s life transformed before their eyes. It’s an amazing business if you can call it that.

Below are a few of the literally thousands of patients we have helped to see a brighter day.
