Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit this page. The plight of Tare, an 18 year old Zimbabwean girl, was first brought to Saving Faces' attention in 2009.She suffers with a very rare tumour, cemento-ossifying fibroma. After hearing about Tare's situation, Iain Hutchison, the chief executive and founder of Saving Faces, offered his services for free. Tare's family contacted Saving Faces through our website. Tare's tumour had grown so large around her mouth that she struggled to breathe and it was threatening her life. The surgery in 2009 reduced the size of the tumour and saved Tare's life, but Tare still needs more treatment. You can help to make this possible by  making a donation. Money donated will pay Tare's treatment costs and any remaining will be used to fund research by Saving Faces.
