Smile train: changing the world one smile at a time.

Smile Train was founded with one, clear aim--to help as many children as possible who are needlessly suffering with unrepaired clefts. Its unique "teach-a-man-to-fish" strategy supports local medical professionals to provide free, safe, and high-quality cleft care by offering free education and training opportunities, free equipment, and financial support for cleft treatment. Smile Train is continuing to expand its reach and enhance its ability to serve by developing and implementing new and innovative approaches in the delivery of comprehensive cleft care, so that each and every child born into the world with a cleft has the opportunity to live a full, productive life.
