Your Gift Matched 2X!
Every 3 minutes, another precious child is born with a cleft lip or palate. Help us provide the next child on our surgical waiting list with the new smile and new life they deserve. Your gift will be doubled thanks to a generous matching partner.
We believe every child born with a cleft lip or palate deserves exceptional surgical and comprehensive care, no matter where they are born.
Together, we create health that lasts a lifetime.
Operation 100
Too many children must travel days for surgery
We’re changing that by partnering with local health workers, hospitals and governments so children can get the surgery and care they need within two hours of where they live.
The Journey to a New Smile
Our comprehensive care covers Nutrition, Surgery, Psychosocial Care, Speech Therapy, Oral Health, Education and Training.
You Make Children Smile
These children, and so many more, received free cleft surgery thanks to the kindness and generosity of caring Canadians like you. Every gift creates a lasting impact in the life of a child.
