As part of SQF’s end-of-year activities, a successful SQF Cleft Camp was conducted at Lumumba Hospital in Zanzibar from December 15–19. During the camp, six children received free cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries, significantly improving their health, confidence, and quality of life.

In continuation of these efforts, SQF successfully organized a Cleft Awareness Marathon on December 21 at the New Aman Complex in Zanzibar. The event was held to raise public awareness about cleft conditions and the importance of early treatment. The Minister for Sports, Zanzibar, Hon. Dr. Riziki Pembe Juma, represented His Excellency Dr. Hussein Ali Mwinyi, the President of Zanzibar & chairman of the Revolutionary Council as the Guest of Honour.

The marathon attracted over 500 participants who competed in the 5km, 10km, and 21km race categories, demonstrating strong community support and commitment to the cause.
