The Smile Train, USA
(Content updated from the Smile Train, USA website on July 6, 2007)
The Smile Train in the United States is focused on solving the problem of cleft lip and palate with the goal of creating a world without cleft lip/palate. With this goal in mind, it is working closely with MMHRC and providing the financial support and best practice methods.
Clefts are a major problem in developing countries where there are millions of children who are suffering with unrepaired clefts. Most cannot eat or speak properly. Aren’t allowed to attend school or hold a job. And face very difficult lives filled with shame and isolation, pain and heartache.
The good news is every single child with a cleft can be helped with surgery that takes as little as 45 minutes.
These are the mission of the Smile Train:
- To provide free cleft surgery for millions of poor children in developing countries.
- To provide free cleft-related training for doctors and medical professionals.
Until there are no more children who need help and we have completely
eradicated the problem of clefts.
