Smile Train
• Every year more than 170,000 children are born with
clefts: most can't afford surgery.
• Clefts are a major problem in developing countries.
Millions of children are suffering with unrepaired clefts.
Most cannot eat or speak properly, aren’t allowed to
attend school or hold a job.
• For just £150 Smile Train can give an operation to fix this
condition so the children can lead a normal life.
