In this episode of Community Canvas, Kea Boya sits down with Tshidi Chabane Xaba, COO of Smile Foundation South Africa, to talk about the organisation’s life-changing work restoring dignity, confidence, and hope to children living with facial conditions, severe burns, and craniofacial differences.

The conversation highlights how healthcare, community partnership, and compassion come together to transform young lives, not only through reconstructive surgery, but through ongoing emotional support and care for children and their families.

It’s a powerful and inspiring discussion about purpose-driven work, the impact of collaboration, and how restoring a smile can help shape a child’s future far beyond the operating theatre.
