LMRF started a journey in 2001 having a vision to create a healthy society for our children to grow. LMRF is the only organization present in Bangladesh that treats cleft lip/palate with CureCleft program. Since LMRF birth till this date, we have successfully made changes in people’s life. In 2014, LMRF will begin establishing the building blocks of Shaping Up Tomorrow. This includes strengthening existing projects, building teams to carry the vision, building infrastructure to support the intended growth and most importantly establish a secure funding strategy to become a high quality child development & rehabilitation organization by 2016 and carry towards the Shaping Up Tomorrow vision. LMRF has the vision to minimize cleft lip/palate and bring the age to treatment to its minimum. We have also the determination to establish ourselves as one of the leading and established NGOs and making difference in lives. Future Plan and Projects:
Health Education Project
A structured health education program to increase awareness and knowledge sharing regarding disability and children’s health. Target audience includes parents of LMRF patients, school children and their parents, and industry workers. HEALBURN PROJECT
The rate of disability due to burn is 5.7 per 100,000 children per year which signifies childhood burn was a major childhood illness in Bangladesh. This project will provide surgical and rehabilitative service to the post burn deformed children and create awareness to prevent burn injury among children. RICKETS PROJECT
Rickets is a very common and devastating acquired disabling nutritional disease of childhood in our country. We are going to take necessary steps to address this problem so that early detection, treatment as well as prevention can be possible. Community & Parents
Creating a community of parents would help people of the rural area to seek treatment rather than relying on superstition. Our aim is educated the parents to give their child a healthy lifestyle and seeking knowledge and utilizing it properly.
