To Give Another Chance - Helping Children with Congenital Heart Defects

Children's Hearts Charity was established in October 2000 to help children born with heart defects (CHD) internationally, particularly in those countries, where disadvantaged and poor children do not have access to the necessary health services. A heart defect (abnormality) that is present at birth is known as a Congenital Heart Defect (CHD). Nearly all of these are life threatening. Any baby can be born with a congenital heart defect. Medical operation is often the only option for these children to have another chance to live.

There are thousands of children with CHD waiting for their life-saving operations.

Our Goal

• To give the every child suffering CHD the opportunity to have the life-saving operation they need.

Our Aims

• To identify sick children and compile a list with diagnosis and cost of surgery;
• To supply equipment, disposables and medication;
• To train and supply qualified medical personnel;
• To prepare support information for medical staff and parents about the special needs of children CHD.
