Emergenza Sorrisi is a Non-Governmental Organization that works with children affected by hare lip, cleft palate, facial deformities, burns, trauma inflicted by war, cataracts and other pathologies inherent in developing countries. Emergenza Sorrisi unites 369 volunteer doctors and nurses, thanks to whom surgical misions have been realized in over 20 countries worldwide, where 3.909 children have been operated on to date and rediscovered their smile. One of the pillars of our activities is training and bringing local doctors and nurses up to date. Through our training, currently 570 professionals benefit in countries that host missions.

All of the projects run by Emergenza Sorrisi in countries in the south of the world anticipate local participation: the current situation is that there are 7 local, autonomous offices open in Benin, Congo (RDC), Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Georgia and Burkina Faso.
