Ukraine

Face the Future Foundation undertook its very first major mission to Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Hospital in Ukraine in March 2023. This was the Foundation’s 50th mission since its inception in 1996. Since then, there have been two missions undertaken every year. The focus of these missions is to treat soldiers and civilians who have suffered head and neck war trauma and to educate and train Ukrainian surgeons, nurses and other medical providers in the management of these complex cases.
Rwanda
5 to 20 People on mission
Since our first mission in Kigali, Rwanda in 2012, Face the Future™ Foundation has made a significant impact not only on the number of patients treated but in the continuous teaching of local medical staff, thereby increasing capacity, knowledge transference, establishing standards and ensuring high quality post-operative care.
Ethiopia
4 to 8 people on the missions
Ethiopia faces an enormous shortage of surgeons to meet the needs of its 127 million population.Surgical care interventions are not available, especially in rural areas and particularly for complex facial reconstructive plastic surgery.
Nepal
8 to 12 People on mission
The Foundation held its first successful mission to the Nepal Cleft and Burn Centre in January 2020 with a team of eight. Treatment and education are being directed towards major burn care, congenital and traumatic facial deformities and hand and upper extremity reconstruction.
Ghana
6 to 10 on missions
Face the Future Foundation has partnered with the West African Institute for Special Surgery (WAISS) in Accra, Ghana having its first mission in 2025.
