Faces Valued is a nonprofit organization centered on raising awareness and providing support for underserved individuals with facial deformities. Our mission is to empower, educate, and advocate for those affected by congenital deformities, domestic abuse, war-related injuries, facial paralysis, and other facial conditions such as advanced cancers or facial burns.

Our mission is to transform lives by addressing the unique challenges faced by individuals with facial deformities. We are committed to fostering a world where every face is valued, and individuals can lead fulfilling lives, free from stigma and discrimination.

Our vision is a society where facial presentation and function are universally valued, and individuals with facial deformities receive the support they need to thrive and be happy.

F - Fellowship: We believe in fostering Fellowship, creating a supportive community where individuals can connect, share experiences, and find strength in unity.

S - Solidarity: Solidarity is the cornerstone of our community. We stand together, united in our commitment to creating a world where every face is valued, and no one faces the challenges of facial deformities alone.

In various parts of the world, facial presentation and function are not universally valued. Individuals with congenital deformities, victims of domestic abuse, survivors of war-related injuries, those experiencing facial paralysis, and individuals battling pathologies such as advanced cancers or facial burns often face not only physical challenges but also societal discrimination. Stigma and lack of understanding can contribute to isolation and hinder opportunities for a fulfilling and happy life.

Faces Valued addresses this problem by working collaboratively with a dedicated team of healthcare providers and other volunteers. Our multifaceted approach includes:

1. Education: We actively engage in educational initiatives to raise awareness about facial deformities
2. Medical Missions: Faces Valued conducts medical missions, bringing together skilled healthcare professionals to provide specialized care, surgeries, and treatments
3. Support Programs: A range of support programs, including counseling services, support groups, and access to medical resources, fostering a sense of community and understanding
4. Advocacy: Faces Valued advocates for societal shifts to create an environment that values and supports individuals with facial deformities
