We advance a sustainable solution and scalable global health model for cleft treatment, drastically improving children’s lives, including their ability to eat, breathe, speak, and ultimately thrive. This sustainable approach to cleft care have enables Smile Train to support 1.5 Million+ cleft surgeries across 90 countries. In India, more than 700,000 cleft surgeries have been supported across 150+ partner hospitals across the country, enabling children to live a life of dignity and proving them with the opportunity to live full and healthy lives.
