THEY CAN CHOOSE ANY CHARITY IN THE WORLD TO SUPPORT

Here’s why they chose Smile Train

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, hailed by many as the most beautiful woman in the world, is Smile Train's Goodwill Ambassador. Recognized as one of the 100 most influential people in the world, Aishwarya works with Smile Train to achieve an ambitious new goal in helping change the lives of children worldwide who suffer from shame and isolation because of cleft lip and cleft palate.

Late Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam

"A million children are waiting. We have a long way to go. The mission is to find partners with good hearts."

- Late Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India

Watch Dr. Kalam's address at Smile Train's 10th Anniversary:

The universally admired ’People’s President’ of India was one of Smile Train’s most inspiring supporters. His support was the ultimate validation of all that we do.

“We commit ourselves to redoubling our efforts to help poor children born with cleft lips and palates – giving them not just a new smile but a new life...something Abdul Kalam Sir would have surely approved.” (Message from Mr. Satish Kalra, Chief Programs Officer, Smile Train)
