During Ramadan 2025, we invite our supporters to once again join Operation Smile UAE in their campaign to #LightTheWay for those affected by cleft conditions by spreading awareness and encouraging donations.
This campaign focuses on giving hope and healing to those who need it most. Let’s come together this Ramadan and show that we can make a difference in the lives of children with cleft conditions. Let’s light the way for those in need, and help them find their way to healing and hope.
As little as 880AED helps provide surgery to a child with a cleft condition. This is possible thanks to the generous contributions of medical professionals who volunteer their time and expertise, as well as corporations that donate critical supplies and equipment necessary for safe surgery. This cost includes expenses incurred for essential medical team members to be at a surgical program, the expenses for additional required supplies and cargo shipping costs.
At Operation Smile, we envision a future where health and dignity are improved through safe surgery. Our mission is to create solutions that deliver safe surgery to people where it’s needed most, and through our expertise in treating cleft lip and cleft palate, we are making this a reality.
Help us #LightTheWay this Ramadan by spreading the word, donating or taking part in the various activities organised throughout the campaign.

Leaflets
This Ramadan, hospitals and clinics across the UAE are coming together to join Operation Smile’s “Light The Way” campaign.
By displaying informative leaflets about Operation Smile, these partnering organizations are providing an incredible opportunity for patients and families, who can’t afford cleft care and have insufficient insurance coverage, to learn more about the free cleft care offered through Operation Smile.
It’s a beautiful way to empower those living within our community to be able to access quality and dignified medical treatments and bring much-needed attention to this important cause, changing lives forever!
