Important Program Update: Lebanon Outreach – April 2026

Global Smile Foundation regrets to announce that our upcoming April 2026 Comprehensive Cleft Program in Lebanon will unfortunately need to be cancelled due to the current geopolitical and security situation in Lebanon and the surrounding region.

This decision was made with deep consideration and was not an easy one. The safety and wellbeing of our patients, volunteers, partners, and local teams must always remain our highest priority.

While we are saddened that we cannot gather this April to continue our work together, our commitment to the children and families we serve in Lebanon remains unwavering. We remain dedicated to returning as soon as it is safe to do so.

At this time, we are hopeful that our next Lebanon program will take place October 7–18, 2026.

We are deeply grateful to our partners, volunteers, and supporters for their continued understanding, compassion, and commitment to the mission of providing comprehensive cleft care to those who need it most.

We hold Lebanon and the entire region in our thoughts and share our sincere hopes for peace and stability.

Thank you for the generosity of spirit and the big hearts that make this work possible.
