Meet Andrea Swart and Suzanne de Beer. Friends from the age of three years old, who later on in their life has discovered the shared passion they have to support mothers. Suzanne, as a professional photographer wanted to capture the journey of the pregnancy and the first golden moments after the baby was born. Andrea, a registered nurse, shared her passion for mothers and their newborns.

Suzanne and Andrea wanted to provide the parents a home, where all their care is available under one roof. Here we are now. This is where Our Village started. Our Village is not only for cleft affected families but it is a home where medical care is rendered by a specialised team of therapists and we can’t wait to see how this team will change lives

Each therapist has their own unique contribution to the team and with new plans and cleft days coming up soon, we can now not only provide proper after care but also support multiple families in need of various disciplines to take their hand through a journey they might not know about or have planned.
