CHIPs is a project of Rotary District 5330, located in Southern California.  Our goal is to improve the living conditions of children throughout the world.

CHIPs has raised money to provide cleft palate/cleft lip surgeries for over 500 children throughout the world.  Clefts of the lip and palate are among the most common of all birth defects.  In some areas of the world treatment is not common or available.

Untreated, these children are ridiculed, rejected from society, and often deprived of an education. They are prone to serious upper respiratory problems, hearing loss, speech and dental problems.

We fund and work with organizations that educate families and communities and provide free operations and therapeutic follow-up care for patients. 

PLEASE join us in helping the children.
