Our Approach
Smile Train partners with local healthcare workers to provide cleft treatments 365 days a year on five continents.
Sustainable Model
Our unique "teach a man to fish" model focuses on training local professionals to provide state-of-the-art cleft care in their own communities. Those trained professionals then go on to train their peers, creating an unparalleled and sustainable ecosystem for facilitating long-term cleft care.

Services
Children with clefts need more than just surgery. They may also need nutritional support, dental care, orthodontic treatment, speech therapy, and more.
