The Smile Foundation has spent years helping children smile their brightest smiles. The organisation provides funding for children to have surgeries that will repair birth defects.

The Smile Foundation is a South African NPO that assists children with any type of facial abnormality, to receive corrective Plastic and Reconstructive surgery within South Africa. We help children who suffer from treatable facial deformities such as Cleft Lip and Palate, burn victims, Moebius syndrome (facial paralysis) and other conditions.

At this stage in the lockdown, these surgeries are not essential so the children on their waiting list have had to wait. This has led to a massive backlog for the organisation. They are waiting for the moment these surgeries are allowed to proceed. In the meantime, they hope to raise the additional funding needed to perform all the surgeries.
