In 2014, Miss World Kenya Idah Nguma teamed up with Smile Train Africa to help raise awareness for children born with clefts and to increase the number of cleft patients brought to Smile Train’s partner hospitals across Kenya. Through this collaboration, Idah has been a great advocate for Smile Train and with her involvement in the Beauty with a Purpose ambassador program, Idah set the ambitious goal to see that every baby born with a cleft in rural Kenya receives treatment.
