Every year about 35,000
children are born in India with clefts defects. Most
cleft births occur in rural India where
poverty is rampant and access to medical resources is scarce.
A cleft defect can be corrected through
surgery for as little as Rs. 12,000. But
left untreated, it devastates lives. Less
than 50% of these children receive the medical treatment
that can give them a chance at a normal life.
Smile Train's singular goal is
to provide free safe and quality treatment of
cleft defects to millions of children in India and around the
world. Since 2000, Smile Train has sponsored over 250,000
surgeries in India.
But the job is far from done. Over one
million children in India still need treatment. That's
where you can help. Your donation
can help give someone with a cleft defect a second
chance at life.
Smile Train will ensure that your donation is
used in the most efficient manner towards treatment of cleft
defects.
Currently, Smile Train is accepting donations via the
following modes:
