In 2016 International Assistance Group chair Larisa Mason started an International aid project that brings free reconstructive surgery to children in Kazakhstan.

International Assistance Group Inc. brings American plastic surgeons to Kazakhstan once a year. These surgeons specialise in helping children with severe burns and a variety of facial deformities. Operations are conducted for free by Surgicorps International plastic surgeons together with Kazakh surgeons from the Maternity and Childhood National Science Centre in Astana.

More than 200 children have undergone life-changing surgeries with the help of International Assistance Group Inc. The children are from low-income families who cannot afford to pay for the operations. Many children are also from foster homes. The patients have severe post-burn scars, Goldenhar sundrome, maxillofacial defects, cleft palate and wolf mouth.

Many more surgeries are needed and Larisa Mason is planning a new trip with surgeons to Kazakhstan in 2019. We need your donation to change the lives of these children. Thank you for your support!
