Give the gift of smile
Nothing can brighten a day like seeing the precious smile of a child.
Leading health and beauty retailer Watsons has been partnering with Operation Smile since 2013 in giving children born with cleft lip and cleft palate a chance to smile through free and safe surgeries.
In the Philippines, an estimated 4,500 children are born every year with this condition.
Founded in 1982, Operation Smile is an international medical service organization that has provided hundreds of thousands of free surgeries for children and young adults in developing countries worldwide who are born with cleft lip, cleft palate and facial deformities. It is dedicated to improve the health and lives of children worldwide through access to surgical care.
According to Operation Smile, nine in 10 children born with a cleft condition could die due to lack of access to safe surgery.
This year, Watsons is committed to help 400 children through its medical missions in Dumaguete, Iloilo and Tacloban.
Additionally, Watsons encourages its customers to support the cause by encouraging them to do good and feel great.
Customer can use Watsons Card or SM Advantage points until Dec. 26 to donate.
