Wana Beverage CSR Initiatives Bring Smiles Through Cleft Surgery Support
In September 2024, Wana Beverage proudly partnered with Operation Smile Vietnam to sponsor 10 life-changing cleft lip and palate surgeries for underprivileged children. With a donation of 100 million VND, Wana’s contribution not only transforms physical appearances but also offers hope, healing, and brighter futures for these young lives.
Understanding Cleft Lip and Palate – More Than Just a Facial Condition
Cleft lip and palate are among the most common birth defects globally, affecting roughly 1 in every 700 newborns. Beyond aesthetic concerns, these conditions can lead to challenges in eating, speaking, breathing, and often result in emotional and social difficulties as children grow.
Surgery That Changes Lives in Under an Hour
Thanks to modern medical advancements, cleft conditions can now be treated with safe and effective reconstructive surgery. Each procedure, lasting 45 to 60 minutes, can drastically improve a child’s ability to communicate, eat, and smile confidently.
Among the 10 patients supported by Wana’s sponsorship were infants under one year old, as well as adults who had never had access to surgery before — including a case where treatment was only provided after the age of 30. The medical team at Mỹ Thiện Dental and Maxillofacial Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City performed all procedures.
Wana Beverage: Empowering Lives Through Smiles
At the heart of Wana Beverage CSR initiatives is a deep belief in wellness — not just physical, but emotional and social as well. Through this campaign, Wana Beverage helped 10 children receive free surgery, giving them a chance to live healthier, more confident lives.
This donation reflects the brand’s wider mission to uplift communities, promote kindness, and encourage collective action. Wana hopes this initiative inspires more individuals and businesses to contribute to meaningful causes that create long-term impact.
