Why your donation matters

Your donations enable Operation Smile to provde thousands of children and young adults suffering from facial deformities such as a cleft lip and palate with free reconstructive surgery, ensuring they have the same start in life as any other child.

Did you know: ● Clefts are the 3rd most common birth defect worldwide ● A baby is born every 3 minutes with a cleft ● 1 in 10 children born with a cleft die before their first birthday ● 70% of cleft lip patients also have a cleft palate ● 75% of cleft cases in the developing world go untreated ● Clefts affect a child’s ability to breathe, eat, drink and speak ● Children with a cleft will often live a lifetime in isolation

It can take as little as 45 minutes and £150 to change a child’s life, forever
