Billions of people don’t
have access to safe surgery
that's timely and effective.
Why now?
Too many people are dying because they don’t have access to surgery.
We believe that access to safe surgery is a fundamental right for everyone in the world — that no person should die because they can’t access the surgery they need.
We’re launching groundbreaking new programs to make that vision a reality - but we can’t do it alone.
Run, bike, walk - do anything to raise funds and inspire others.
When it comes to inspiring donations, the possibilities are limitless. Here are some awesome ideas from a few of our favorite Smile Champions.
