Smile Train: World Cleft Awareness Day 2026

Observed annually on July 20, World Cleft Awareness Day (WCAD) raises global awareness about cleft lip and/or palate, helps reduce stigma, and advocates for equitable access to comprehensive cleft care. Following the successful launch of the observance last year, Smile Train is marking its second annual World Cleft Awareness Day with a global campaign that encourages individuals, communities, and organizations to share stories, amplify awareness on social media, and show support for cleft-affected people around the world.
