Organizations Filed Purposes:
SMILE TRAIN, INC.'S PRIMARY PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE CHILDREN BORN WITH A CLEFT THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES IN LIFE AS A CHILD BORN WITHOUT A CLEFT. (CONT'D ON SCH. O).
Smile Train, Inc. empowers local medical professionals with training, funding, and resources to provide free cleft surgery and comprehensive cleft care to children globally.
Treatment program: free cleft surgeries - while our cost per surgery varies across the 90+ different countries where we have worked, our contribution per surgery can be as low as $250. This amount reflects the contribution per surgery that we provide our partner hospitals. They also cover a significant portion of each surgery as part of our cost-sharing agreement and partnership with our medical partners. (CONT'D ON SCH. O).
Public education program Around the world, many people are unfamiliar with cleft lip and palate. For many of the families we support, the first time they see a cleft is when they first look at the face of their newborn child. This lack of awareness, coupled with stigma and myths around lip and palate, often leads to babies with clefts being abandoned, isolated, or simply never brought to a hospital for treatment because families and communities dont know that treatment is available. No matter where they live, it is essential that every family is aware of cleft lip and palate and the care that their child will need as they grow and develop. (CONT'D ON SCH. O).
Training programs - Smile Train provides free training and education to cleft care professionals around the world. Access to education and training opportunities is critical to Smile Train's mission of empowering local medical teams to provide safe, high-quality cleft care. Over the past 21 years, we have provided more than 40,000 training opportunities to improve cleft treatment in countries around the world. (CONT'D ON SCH. O).
