Welcome to The Ruel Foundation
The Ruel Foundation is a faith based, humanitarian organisation that provides free medical aid to children with physical deformities such as cleft lip and palate in developing nations. Surgeries are done in the child's own nation by local surgeons. For as little as US $250 a child can receive corrective surgery for a cleft lip or palate from surgeons in the Philippines. We also run a children's crisis centre for small children living in poverty and in life threatening situations such as starvation, physical abuse or abandonment.
Our commitment to the physical and spiritual welfare of children living in poverty with physical disabilities in developing nations is not only changing lives but changing communities. Children are now recovering their self esteem, going back to school, getting an education, daring to dream of being a pilot, fireman, nurse or teacher.
The Ruel Foundation is a fully registered Charitable Trust in New Zealand (CC11212) and the USA (501c3).

Ruel Foundation Children's Home
The Ruel Foundation works closely with authorities to help rescue children that are close to death from starvation or abuse. In many cases we just provide milk powder to assist a family in getting a child’s weight up, however, in some cases this is not enough. The Department of Social Welfare usually ask us to accept the child into our Ruel House until the child is strong enough to return to their family or be placed for adoption.

The Surgeries We Perform
The Ruel Foundation raises money to provide free surgeries for children living in poverty with physical deformities in developing nations. Often, a physical deformity that is relatively simple to operate on goes unattended well into adulthood. The Foundation concentrates on children who live in poverty in isolated areas with little hope of help. To participate in this program you can donate to an individual child or make a general donation that will go to the next needy child.
