About Us
Operation Smile South Africa was established as a Foundation in early 2006, and in September, the organization conducted its inaugural international medical mission to Empangeni in collaboration with the National and KwaZulu-Natal Departments of Health and Johannesburg based Smile Foundation (formerly the Star Smile Fund.) In its first year, this Foundation has enjoyed national recognition and success thanks to its dedicated donors, supporters and volunteers. In August, two South African extreme athletes began an epic journey to complete the unique feat of traveling the entire length of the Great Wall of China, on foot, in one attempt. David Grier and Braam Malherbe completed this challenge in December and raised more than $75,000 for the Cipla Medpro Miles for Smiles Foundation, of which Operation Smile South Africa was the sole beneficiary. Since its inception, Operation Smile South Africa has sent its volunteers on more than 30 international medical missions and conferences. The organization also sponsored Basic Life Support training for 47 South African healthcare professionals and Pediatric Advanced Life Support training for 16 South African medical volunteers.
