The history of our activities in Lombok go back 8 years. Rotary Club Mataram, Lombok has initiated a program for cleft lip and palate repairs, free of costs, for all inhabitants of Lombok.
Lily Heyder, past president, has been initiator and moderator for this wonderfull project. She has connected to Rotary Club, Gent, Belgium, moderator Madjid Gordjestani for matching grants and funds.>> more....

Our first 5-year plan stands for surgical repair of all children in Lombok before age 7. Surgeons from all over the world have donated time, and are willing to continue doing so. Many materials will be donated. Given that support we need about 300 US$ for each child. This means that we need to raise 252.000 US$ next 5 years to help all children below 7 years of age (140 children born each year times 6 years times 300 US$).
Indonesian Women Association has started support for our project since 2008. They are important, because they are well embedded in Lombok, and they are tremendous help in developing our ambitious plans.
Cost of Speech Therapy is US$ 50 per patient. Cost of Orthodontics is US$ 250 per patient.
We are very fortunate to have many indonesian counterparts helping us. We hope eventually they will take over all care, and we assist them only if needed. These indonesian professionals still need our help, for the numbers of patients are overwhelming.
HOW TO DONATE:
By Cheque or Demand Draft or Pay Order in the name of Cleft Lip and Palate Center Indonesia Lombok, payable in Mataram.
Our surgeons from Germany, Holland, Belgium and Indonesia, donate their time and expertise. The results provide a bright future to our patients. They appreciate your donations tremendously!

Fundraising
Fundraising Ideas
If you’re searching for ways to raise money for CPF, take a look through these ideas. Have ideas you’d like to share? Email CPF!
Birthday Parties
Many families and individuals ask that people send donations to the Cleft Palate Foundation in honor of the birthday person. We’re happy to help by sending donor cards, stationery, and/or fundraising letters, and we love thanking your guests for their honorary gifts.
The Gould Family is just one example of this – in March 2009, family and friends celebrated Charlotte’s first birthday and included CPF! Check out their birthday story for more ideas.
Social Events
Looking for a way to have fun with friends and family while supporting CPF? Plan a house party, concert or other get together (like David Pearson’s Moustache March!) and ask for contributions. Let us know what you’re planning and we can send supplies for you to use to educate your guests about cleft lip and palate and the work of the Cleft Palate Foundation.
As a fun summer event, the Ingham Family put together a lemonade stand for the Fourth of July. Check out their story!
Weddings and Gift Registries
Giving a gift to the Cleft Palate Foundation in honor of your wedding is a special and unique way to thank guests. We’ll send cards to set out on tables or a letter to frame and display. Couples often find that this is a great thing to do as a wedding favor.
Setting up a registry? Listing the Cleft Palate Foundation’s online giving site as a gift your guests can give is a meaningful addition to your special day. Let friends and family honor you by giving a gift that helps the individuals and families who call the Cleftline for support.
If you have questions or need supplies for your fundraising efforts, please email or call (800.24.CLEFT) the Cleft Palate Foundation.
