Mission Plate for June
For the month of June our Mission and Outreach will be supporting Smile Train. Smile
Train is the world’s largest cleft-focused organization, with a sustainable and local model of supporting surgery and other forms of essential care. For over the last 20 years, Smile Train has supported safe and quality cleft care for 1.5 million children. Local staff and volunteers raise awareness about clefts and the services that Smile Train sponsors through media campaigns, visits to neighboring communities, health worker outreach, and word of mouth.
Families learn that clefts can be treated at no cost at a local partner hospital. Smile Train
trains and empowers medical professionals around the world to provide patients with lifechanging cleft care that they would not otherwise have been able to access. In addition to life-changing surgery, Smile Train’s local medical patterner’s provide essential care, such as speech therapy, emotional support, nutrition services, an orthodontic care, to ensure that children can lead full and productive lives. Your donations will help Smile Train to help local partner surgeons to provide free comprehensive cleft care and help change a child’s life!
