Show Your Support During
World Smile Week

October 4 – 11, 2024

Did you know that every three minutes, another child is born with a cleft lip or cleft palate? In places of need around the world, many of these children face life-threatening health problems and painful bullying and isolation if their conditions are left untreated. 

For more than 40 years, Operation Smile has worked to treat the patients and families living beyond the reach of existing health care systems. Where you live shouldn’t determine if you live. 

You can share your support for Operation Smile during World Smile Week, kicking off on World Smile Day, Friday, October 4, 2024. Our goal is to provide the next 1 million patients with life-changing care over the next decade by creating lasting solutions to ensure more families receive quality treatments closer to their communities.
