Every Operation Smile patient bears a badge of hope – a scar that shows they received the surgical care they needed, found hope, and began a new chapter in life.
From the people who wear them with pride to the skilled doctors who worked tirelessly on them, these scars speak of love, care and resilience.
The We Build Hope campaign brings to life Operation Smile’s belief that access to safe surgery is a basic human right. Scars are lasting proof of access to care that billions still lack. Every image, film, and message embodies what happens when access to safe surgery reaches those who need it most – lives are transformed.
Through Operation 100, Operation Smile is strengthening district hospitals and training local surgical teams to bring surgical care closer to 100 communities – and 100 is just the start.
