Founded in 1993 in Bengaluru, ABMSS began its journey as a catalyst and enabler for a range of social welfare causes focused on children and underserved communities across India. Over the years, the organization evolved from a supporter and sponsor into a key driver of impact-led programs in the healthcare and child development space.

In 2013, ABMSS adopted comprehensive cleft care as its flagship initiative, committing itself to transforming lives through timely, safe, and holistic surgical interventions for children born with cleft lip and palate. This transformation has been made possible with the steadfast support of our principal supporter, Deutsche Cleft Kinderhilfe e.V., a German non-profit organization that has stood by ABMSS since the inception of the cleft program. In addition, Persistent Foundation has been a committed supporter of our cleft work since 2017, enabling us to expand our reach and deepen our impact.

At ABMSS, every funded cleft surgery is not only assessed for clinical quality but also measured for outcomes and patient safety. Costs are transparently managed, and long-term success is prioritized through continuity of care. Our focus goes beyond the surgery itself by restoring smiles and rebuilding confidence in every child we serve. Most importantly, children and their families are emotionally supported and counseled throughout their journey right from identification to post-surgical recovery and ensuring that each smile that is restored is part of a larger transformation in confidence and quality of life.
