Activity 2

Public education program: every year, people in developing countries kill or abandon their newborn babies because they don't know a cleft is a simple birth defect and not a "curse from god." thousands of children with clefts are never brought to hospitals for treatment because their parents don't know clefts are treatable. Thousands of people in developed countries come to smile train for information on how to find a good cleft team and how to take care of their newborn babies with a cleft. Through direct mail, websites, newspapers, radio, tv, public service announcements, documentaries, public relations, etc., we do more to raise public awareness about clefts both in developing countries and in the united states than any other charitable organization in the world. Over the past 10 years, our public awareness efforts have reached approximately one billion people.

Activity 3

Training Program: Smile Train provides more free training and education to cleft care professionals than most other organizations in the world. Access to education and training is critical to Smile Train's mission of empowering local medical teams to provide safe, high-quality cleft care. Over the past 13 years, we have provided support for more than 1,400 medical conferences and training opportunities to improve cleft treatment in the developing world. Smile Train is innovative in its approach to provide quality training to its medical professionals worldwide. Smile Train has leveraged its use of technology to scale training for cleft medical professionals. Since 1999, we have distributed free virtual surgery training materials to nearly 40,000 medical professionals in 149 countries.
