Story

Smile Train - UAE is appealing to generous donors in the Middle East to raise necessary resources to perform life-changing treatment to 25 children with cleft lip and cleft palate in Pakistan and Egypt.

Smile Train is an international children’s charity with a sustainable approach to a single, solvable problem: cleft lip and palate. Many children with clefts around the world live in isolation, but more importantly, have difficulty eating, breathing, hearing, and speaking. Cleft repair surgery is simple, and the transformation is immediate. Our sustainable model provides training, funding, and resources to empower local doctors in 85+ countries to provide 100%-free cleft repair surgery and comprehensive cleft care in their own communities

Patients see their smile for the first time, parents cry tears of joy, lives and communities are changed forever. As a result of our efficiency and with the support of our donors and partners around the world, Smile Train has transformed the lives of more than one million children by giving them the power of a smile.

The cost per surgery is as little as AED 1,000. 

Help us to keep their smiles by donating today.
