Our organisation acts as a bridge, collaborating with families, HEWs and Ethiopian surgeons to enable rural patients to access treatment, commonly available in the capital city Addis Ababa. In 2012, we arranged treatment for 538 young people with serious facial disabilities, at a cost of less than £250 per person. As a result of our success and reputation we have built, PHE has recently extended their work across the Oromia region and in parts of the Afar region, with expanded coverage from 3% to 26% in two years. An important aspect of our work is to carry out check-ups and follow-up with patients who have been treated. In 2011, we began a ground-breaking piece of research, assessing the impact of treatment for 400 previously treated cleft patients and evaluating our outreach model. This evaluation demonstrated that treatment is vitally important not only aesthetically but for education; only 44% of school-age students in this study attended school prior to surgery, after surgery 78% of these students attended school, as a direct result of greater self-confidence and a decrease in bullying. PHE’s outreach team come from the communities in which they work and have strong local links, ensuring cultural sensitivity and practical understanding. Furthermore, PHE’s senior staff has extensive experience in diplomacy and partnership building, especially with government officials and partner organisations, which has led to significant expansion of our work over the last decade. 3.2 FUNDING HISTORY: Please describe your organisation's main sources of funding, with an indication of the amounts received and the purpose of the funding. The most recent financial statements (October 2012) show annual income of £279,590. Funding received from the following sources enables PHUK to fund year round identification of 4 young people with cleft conditions and other facial disabilities, predominantly in the Oromia region, and their transport to Addis Ababa for treatment and recovery. The funding also enables the organisation to fund an annual surgical mission, made up of a volunteer medical team from the UK and Europe, to treat patients with complex facial conditions and build the capacity of local medical teams.
