Fundacion Sonrie was born in Pereira in 1996 through a group of health professional friends, who demonstrated the need for the population of patients with craniofacial anomalies, especially Cleft Lip and Palate. This is how they decided to form the foundation through a multidisciplinary group that will allow patients with CLP to access comprehensive treatment to improve their living conditions. Our webpage is www.fundacionsonrie.org. SmileTrain is our ally!
Children with clefts need 17 years of medical treatment to recover totally with procedures like operations, orthodontics, speech therapy, and psychology, among others. The government covers just some operations, but the rest is also needed. In our Foundation, the Medical staff gives our patients the required treatments. Our vision is to rebuild smiles and help Children and families overcome this problem.
At the Sonrie Foundation, we work to restore hope to children and young people with cleft lip and palate. We know that this condition not only affects their smile, but also their eating, speech and confidence. How can you help us? By supporting us financially with any of these treatments: Reconstructive lip and/or palate surgeries Dental and orthodontic care Speech therapy and psychological support Field trips to indigenous communities Financial support for transportation
Our long-term impact is transforming lives: we provide surgeries, therapies and support to children, young people and adults with cleft lip and palate, improving their health, speech and self-esteem. We facilitate their education, inclusion and development, reducing inequalities in vulnerable communities. In addition, we raise awareness in society and strengthen access to treatments. Thanks to Global Giving and its donors. Join us and give a smile that lasts forever.
