Spotlight: The Smile Train
The Smile Train is a nonprofit organization that focuses on solving the problem of cleft lip and palate. This organization's mission is to provide free cleft surgery for millions of poor children in developing countries and provide free cleft-related training for doctors and medical professionals until there are no more children who need help. They strive to completely get rid of the problem of clefts.
Most people with clefts cannot eat or speak properly and aren't allowed to attend school or hold a job. Many are faced with difficult lives filled with shame and isolation, pain and heartache.
To achieve their mission, the Smile Train works to receive donations for cleft surgeries. They cost as little as $250 and takes as little as 45 minutes.
