Welcome to The Butterfly Foundation, a non-profit medical organization dedicated to improving the lives of children with complex spine deformity. Our volunteer US medical teams perform life-saving surgeries for children in developing countries while promoting the advancement of spine deformity treatment technology by training local surgeons. The surgeons use those new skills and supplies gifted to them by the foundation to continue treating patients in their own country fulfilling the foundation motto, "Teach a man to fish and he feeds his community for a lifetime."

The Butterfly Foundation has cared for over 300 patients through Spine Clinics in 5 countries worldwide since February 2003. For our patients, these surgeries are not just about being able to walk tall, but being able to live a full life.
