What is Christmas Smiles?

Without corrective surgeries, many children face lifelong difficulties.
Some even face malnutrition due to complications caused by their cleft palates.

Every year, LIFE Outreach International provides corrective surgeries for children in need.

Children who suffer with severe cleft palate or cleft lip are given the gift of a beautiful smile through surgery! This gift extends far beyond new smiles; the corrective surgeries offer lifelong health benefits to children who otherwise would have difficulty eating or breathing properly.

Together with our friends and partners, LIFE has provided these surgeries throughout the years in cases where children with the most severe cases of cleft lips and cleft palates had no other hope for medical care.

Without corrective surgeries, many children face lifelong difficulties. Some even face malnutrition due to complications caused by cleft palate. Devastatingly, parents and families in developing countries will often abandon these precious little ones because of their facial disfigurements and expensive health issues.

Why We Need Your Help?

For many children in need, the hope for this surgery is something completely out of reach.

But through your generous gifts, you can help give a child a gift of hope for a better future, an immediately improved quality of life and a new smile this Christmas!
