Make Change Count

Organizations We Support

One Charity. One Problem. One Goal.

Unlike many charities that do many different things, The Smile Train is focused on solving a single problem:
cleft lip and palate.

Clefts are a major problem in developing countries where there are millions of children who are suffering
with unrepaired clefts. Most cannot eat or speak properly. Aren’t allowed to attend school or hold a job. And
face very difficult lives filled with shame and isolation, pain and heartache.

The good news is every single child with a cleft can be helped with surgery that costs as little as $250 and
takes as little as 45 minutes.

This is our mission:
    -To provide free cleft surgery for millions of poor children in developing countries.
    -To provide free cleft-related training for doctors and medical professionals.

Until there are no more children who need help and we have completely
eradicated the problem of clefts.

The Children of Ethiopia Education Fund exists to improve the lives and futures of girls in Ethiopia; and to
allow the opportunity for people in the United States and around the world, who have been more materially
blessed, to give of themselves.

Making Change Count

Making Change Count is a program designed to foster the act of giving and sharing with those people who are less fortunate.

In this program, the girls earn their parent's "spare change" by doing small chores around their homes. This change, in turn, is collected as a team and used to support the charities of our choice.

We are a small group but the girls are quickly proving they can make a big difference in the world...one cent at a time!
