All the proceeds from the purchases will be donated towards life-saving corrective surgeries for children born with cleft lip or palate conditions. While influencers are leading the charge, anyone is welcome to donate items towards the sale, and all South Africans are encouraged to shop for this great cause.<\/p>\n<p>Globally, one in every 700 babies are born with a cleft lip or palate. Without corrective surgery, it\u2019s estimated that one in 10 babies will die within four weeks of birth. Cleft lips can be repaired in roughly 45 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The Cipla Foundation\u2019s Miles for Smiles #SmileSale campaign is raising funds for corrective surgery, with a circular deal that\u2019s good for the wallet, and even better for the planet. As it addresses a medical problem, the campaign is helping to tackle the fashion industry\u2019s biggest issue, which is sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a purpose-driven healthcare organisation, we are constantly exploring new and novel ways to execute our ethos of \u2018caring for life\u2019,\u201d says Paul Miller, CEO of Cipla South Africa. \u201cThis campaign centres around everything that is important to our business: people, planet and purpose. Through this initiative, Miles for Smiles aims to make a life-changing difference by helping to facilitate corrective surgery for people born with cleft conditions. Whether selling their high-quality items or buying from the amazing range available, anyone can get involved in this worthy cause.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To date, Miles for Smiles has helped to facilitate hundreds of surgeries and has raised more than R10 million since 2009 in support of Operation Smile. As part of ensuring equitable access to healthcare, the #SmileSale aims to fund even more surgeries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy leveraging technology, we can create a more sustainable future for fashion, making a positive difference for the environment, along with people\u2019s wallets, while also raising awareness and funds for a surgery that will make a profound difference in a child\u2019s life. Looking good while doing good? That\u2019s what retail therapy should be; making a tangible difference for our children, as well as the planet,\u201d Miller adds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">147<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/sustainable-fashion-helps-to-fund-corrective-surgery-for-sa-children\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
