Smile Train
FOUNDED in 1999, smile train is the world's largest cleft charity with over 2200 partner surgeons operating in over 1100 partner hospitals, and has helped more children in over 80 countries - many of the world's poorest.
Cleft are a major problem in developing countries, where millions of children who are suffering with unrepaired clefts cannot eat or speak properly, and aren't allowed to attend school or hold a job. Their clefts usually go untreated because they are too poor to pay for a simple surgery that has been around for decades.
Smile Train provides free cleft lip and palate surgery to children from poor families that give a child not just a new smile, but also a chance at a new life. The organisation's vision and mission is that every child born with a cleft anywhere in the world should have the oppurtunity to live a full productive life. It recently performed its 750,000th surgery.
