The Ismaili: Changing lives in Congo, one smile at a time

Sixteen-month-old Jimla Kasenga and 61-year-old Mukadi Kabengele both have a reason to smile. Each of them underwent successful facial reconstructive surgery at Operation Smile’s recent medical mission to Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The week-long mission, which took place in May at the Clinique Ngaliema, provided corrective surgery for children and adults born with facial deformities like cleft lip and cleft palate.
