A New Smile: Arcil's Support for Children with Cleft Lip and Palate

In partnership with Smile Train India, New Delhi

Arcil is proud to partner with Smile Train India to provide life-changing support for children born with cleft lip and palate deformities. Annually, thousands of children in India are born with this condition, leading to difficulties with eating, breathing, and speaking, and often resulting in social isolation.
In FY 2024-25, ARCIL's support enabled surgical and comprehensive care for 102 children across various locations, including Murshidabad and Kolkata in West Bengal, Chennai and Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu, Raipur in Chhattisgarh, and Srinagar. This collaboration provides these young patients with free reconstructive cleft surgeries, giving them a second chance at a normal life and the opportunity to live with dignity and confidence.
