Smile Train is all about repairing cleft lips and palates the world over. In face, Smile Train helps children in 77 of the world’s poorest countries.

Many children with cleft palate damage cannot eat or speak properly. They can’t attend school to learn, or hold a job. These kids grow up to face a life filled with shame, hiding their faces.
