Marian is an active supporter of the international non-profit organization Smile Train that promotes surgery and awareness for children with cleft lip and palate and became the organization’s ambassador since 2014.

Her heart for disabled children gave her the opportunity to be appointed as the Ambassador for Women and Children with Disabilities by the House of Representatives.

The exceptional Kapuso actress managed to allot enough time for her advocacy and comes up with several projects to support the Smile Train organization.

She treats the mothers of children with cleft clip and palate to a girly day and gave them a day-off from their hard work in supporting their kids’ special needs. She also regularly visits the Smile Train patients and shows her tight support in her advocacy.

Marian also came up with the idea of having a fundraising event with the #YanAngSmile t-shirt with the proceeds donated to the organization.

Not just a mother and a wife, Marian Rivera is also a dedicated advocate for children with disabilities. Nice one, Marimar!
