Surgical Missions

For over ten years, The Little Wings Foundation has provided quality orthopedic care for children in challenging humanitarian situations in the Middle East. Regular missions throughout the year have changed the lives of many children who cannot access the critical care they need to live a fully functional life.

Providing children with the means to develop physically alongside their peers enables a much brighter social and economic future. By mobilizing a specialist, volunteer-based team of surgeons, nurses, and physiotherapists, we embark on missions of between 4 and 10 days, assessing and treating as many children as possible.  From coordination to post-operative care and follow-up, The Little Wings Foundation is fully committed to every child.

The Charity has conducted surgical missions mainly in the West Bank and Gaza but also in Turkey/Syria, Haiti, and Eritrea. Over the last few years, our focus has been assisting the children of Gaza, working at the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Younis, in Southern Gaza.
