What Makes Smile Train Different
Your gifts sustain world-class training programs that equip and empower medical professionals in 75+ countries to provide children in need with life-changing, high-quality cleft care. This is what makes Smile Train different from organizations that send doctors on mission trips to other countries: we support local medical professionals and local hospitals -- it’s how we build up healthcare infrastructure around the world while sponsoring care 365 days a year.
Beyond surgery, our local partners also provide speech therapy, psychological support, nutritional services, dentistry, orthodontics, and other essential forms of care to ensure that children with clefts have everything they need to not just live, but thrive.
