Smile Train
Supporting free cleft repair surgery and comprehensive cleft care for children and improving their overall quality of life
Smile Train is an international nonprofit organisation and charity providing safe corrective surgery and life-changing, high-quality cleft care to ensure every child in need has access to the care they deserve.
Their sustainable approach is designed to empower local medical professionals to provide cleft care in their own communities.
35,000+ babies are born with a cleft lip every year in India.
How we support them
The grant from Ashraya Hastha Trust strengthens the cleft care ecosystem in India by supporting free-of-cost cleft lip and palate surgeries, capacity development training for Smile Train’s local medical professionals, and making vital safety and mobilisation infrastructure available at Smile Train India’s partner hospitals.
