Creating Smiles

Making Faces is a non-profit organization that helps children with facial differences by building confidence and developing important life skills.

Making Faces supports anti-bullying initiatives in schools and youth organizations, and provides innovative workshops for kids and families, building self-esteem, one smile at a time.

Our Objectives

Making Faces is one of the few organizations in Manitoba dedicated to supporting children and families by promoting social integration and mental health. Many kids with facial differences face challenges such as low self-esteem, delayed language development, and social skills deficits. Our goal is to help every one of them—but we can’t do it alone.

Empowering these kids to interact confidently with others equips them with invaluable life skills. For those whose facial appearance is unique, this support is crucial.

 

“Making Faces is filling an integral gap in promoting children’s mental wellness.”
