Smile Fouldation is a South African non-governmental organisation formed in 2000 after a personal request from Mr. Nelson Mandela to help a little girl living with a facial anomaly. Smile Foundation has a comprehensive health care vision for children living with facial conditions. Smile Foundation together with the country€™s Academic Hospitals work together to put the smile back onto children€™s faces with corrective facial reconstructive surgery and treatments. To date more than 2,000 children's lives have been changed.

Thapelo was referred from a private plastic surgeon. His first op took place when he was 4 months old where he had undergone a cleft lip repair. 

At 9 months old his palate was repaired.

On the 9th October this year Thapelo received a 1st stage soft palate repair. He still needs a hard palate repair.

Once that is done he will receive speech therapy to assist with talking and feeding.

Please help us help Thapelo by donating towards his hard palate repair to bring back a smile on his face
