Ruth Paz Foundation
The Ruth Paz Foundation is named after its founder, a woman who dedicated her life to helping the needy children of Honduras. A Treatment Grant funded the start up of a Honduran Orthodontic Clinic, including a year's worth of basic supplies and instruments and orthodontic services for 100 children with clefts in San Pedro Sula. In 2002, The Smile Train continued its support of the Ruth Paz Foundation by funding an additional Treatment Grant.
