Operation Smile D.R.Congo

Operation Smile DRC is a highly regarded health-based humanitarian organization that is committed to making a substantial difference in the lives of the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. We have been conducting philanthropic actions in the DRC since 2009, partnering with the Ministry of Health to deliver life-changing surgeries to thousands of people. Our surgical programs have been a resounding success, with at least 2,500 children and adults benefiting from our free cleft lips and/or palates surgical procedures. We provide medical expertise, training, research and care through our staff, volunteers, and students, working alongside governments, nonprofits, and health systems.
