Lion Mukhlesur Rahman Foundation was established in 2001 with the purpose of providing free cleft lip/palate surgery and rehabilitation. It was the first such organization in the Chittagong to provide such services. From its earliest days, LMRF has been primarily focused on providing out-of-the box healthcare services to the marginalized communities. Moreover, the services continue to be free of cost.
Twelve years since it has been established, LMRF today has transformed into an organization that primarily deals with children. After 2010, free of cost Clubfoot treatments have also been included and since then LMRF is the only organization that provides such service in the entire Chittagong division.
Based on today’s context and the needs of the future, over the next few years, LMRF intends to position itself as the most recognized children’s charity in Chittagong and Bangladesh. With this mission, LMRF introduces its flagship initiative – SHAPING UP TOMORROW.
