When Smile Train was founded we were only able to offer the initial surgery, but as we have expanded and our resources have grown, we are very happy to be able to provide not only free follow-up surgeries, but also speech therapy at a number of our partner hospitals as well as orthodontics programs. As the children get older, they sometimes need follow-up surgery as their bodies and mouths develop and therefore we do provide free surgery for the children that have already been through our programs.
We use all kinds of proprietary technology to save money and do things faster, cheaper and smarter. Our partners upload all of their patient records to us via the Web, which not only saves millions in shipping, handling and storage costs, but also allows us to review and monitor the quality of their work.
Many of the experts in the cleft world are actively investigating etiology and prevention of cleft. We support their work and hope one day they will find a solution. What we do know is that folic acid plays a critical role in embryonic development, before and after conception.
Clefts develop very early in the first trimester, and many women may not even know they are pregnant when the cleft is formed, making early intervention difficult.
While Smile Train does not have a folic acid distribution program, we work to raise awareness about cleft and treat cleft through surgery and ancillary treatment such as speech therapy and orthodontic treatment. While Smile Train mainly provides support for cleft programs in the developing world, the cleft treatment needs and challenges faced by the Native American population within the U.
Additionally, Smile Train has provided grants to a number of cleft teams in the U. Instead of doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that, like many charities, Smile Train decided to choose one specific problem that affects children and try to solve it. We chose clefts because:. Babies are born with clefts everywhere in the world including the US, but you seldom see untreated clefts in the US and Europe because they are treated soon after birth.
Clefts are usually NOT treated in developing countries because most of the families are too poor to afford surgery and the government will not provide free surgery. A cleft occurs when certain body parts and structures do not fuse together during fetal development. The vast majority of these children will never receive the reconstructive surgery they need and will live their entire lives with untreated clefts.
This is often due to poverty, limited awareness and lack of medical resources, but Smile Train is working days a year to help these children in need. We test the results of all our advertising and our research and analysis demonstrates that advertisements that include only before photos significantly increases the amount of money we raise to help these children.
Smile Train does not release contact information for the children that we help to maintain their privacy and uphold their patient confidentiality. At the present time it is not possible for us to restrict individual donations for specific children. What we can promise you is that we will use your donation to help a child in need who would otherwise never be helped.
