Restoring Smiles, Transforming Lives
At Look & Smile Foundation, we are dedicated to transforming the lives of vulnerable and underserved children born with cleft lip and palate conditions. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to smile confidently, live with dignity, and access quality healthcare regardless of their background.
Our foundation works to restore not only physical appearance, but also confidence, hope, and long-term well-being through safe, high-quality surgical care and holistic support services. Through strategic partnerships with medical professionals, hospitals, volunteers, and community stakeholders, we identify, treat, and support children across marginalized communities.
We are driven by a simple but powerful mission: ensuring that no child suffers from a treatable condition due to lack of access to care.
What We Do
Our programs focus on comprehensive cleft care services that support children and families before, during, and after treatment.
Free Cleft Lip and Palate Surgeries
We organize and fund life-changing reconstructive surgeries for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. These procedures improve feeding, speech, health outcomes, and self-confidence.
Community Outreach & Medical Camps
We conduct outreach programs and surgical camps in underserved communities to identify patients, provide screenings, and connect families with specialized medical care.
Patient Screening & Preparation
Working closely with local communities and healthcare providers, we identify children in need, carry out medical assessments, and prepare them for safe surgical intervention.
Nutritional & Pre-Operative Support
Children with cleft conditions often experience feeding challenges and malnutrition. We provide nutritional support, counselling, and medical evaluations to ensure patients are ready for surgery.
Post-Operative Care & Follow-Up
Our care continues after surgery through wound management, recovery monitoring, family support, and follow-up services to ensure successful healing.
Comprehensive Cleft Care
Beyond surgery, we promote holistic care that may include:
- Speech therapy
- Dental and orthodontic care
- Nutrition support
- Psychosocial and emotional support for children and families
Training & Capacity Building
We collaborate with healthcare professionals to strengthen local medical capacity through training, mentorship, and knowledge sharing.
Awareness & Advocacy
We educate communities about cleft conditions, reduce stigma and discrimination, and encourage early treatment and support for affected children.
Family Support Services
We assist vulnerable families with transportation, accommodation during treatment, and emotional support throughout the care journey.
Our Vision
A world where every child with a cleft condition has access to safe treatment, compassionate care, and the opportunity to live a healthy and confident life.
Our Mission
To restore smiles and transform lives by providing accessible cleft lip and palate treatment, holistic care, community awareness, and sustainable healthcare partnerships for vulnerable children and families.
