In 2010, RCWS launched a Pediatric Maxillofacial Surgery program in partnership with the Moscow Center for Maxillofacial Surgery (MCMS) and Rusfond.
In 2022 through this partnership we assisted 97 children from low income families and orphanages, transforming their future.

We are glad to report that 3,000 Christmas presents, sponsored by RCWS, were delivered to 32 partner organizations (mainly orphanages) and will be distributed to children during the holidays. For most of these children it is the only present they will receive throughout the year.
