Operation Smile Australia

Operation Smile Australia We mobilise a world of generous hearts to heal children's smiles and transform lives across the globe. We're Operation Smile, and we hope you'll join us.

https://operationsmile.org.au/get-involved/volunteer/ As an international charity for children, we measure ourselves by the joy we see on all of the faces we help. At Operation Smile, we're more than a charity. More than an NGO. We're a mobilised force of medical professionals and caring hearts who provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery and related medical care for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate. Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft. One in 10 of those children will die before their first birthday. The children who survive are often unable to eat, speak, socialise or smile. In some places, they are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a productive life. Every child deserves access to safe, quality surgical care. Every child deserves a future filled with hope.

January in Casablanca, Morocco 🇲🇦✨

Our surgical program wrapped up with 68 patients receiving life-changing cleft surgery — a powerful start to the year.

This impact was made possible by an incredible team of international volunteers from across the globe, including Dr Stuart Bade and Alison from Australia, who gave their time and expertise to support patients and families.
