CHARITY BACKGROUND

Smiling Heart Foundation UK, a UK-based charity organisation, is committed to exclusively funding surgical procedures for children with congenital heart defects in developing countries, primarily focusing on India. The prevalence of this widespread condition among over 1% of children in developing nations highlights the urgent need for accessible medical services. Unfortunately, the exorbitant costs associated with open-heart surgery create significant barriers for affected families. Despite some governmental support, it often falls short, leaving a considerable gap in reaching those at the grassroots level of society. Smiling Heart Foundation UK passionately strives to bridge this divide and provide life-saving cardiac care to those most in need.
