Smile Foundation was set up in 2002 by a group of professionals in New Delhi, India. It is a voluntary development organization that focuses on underserved children, youth and women. Currently its interventions are directly benefitting over 15,00,000 children and their families every year, through more than 400 live welfare projects on education, healthcare, livelihood and women empowerment, in over 2,000 remote villages and slums across 26 states of India. Smile Foundation as part of its civic driven approach model also builds capacity of grassroots organizations, with a vision to develop and establish a fully self-supporting in-country funding mechanism.

Appeal

Childhood is said to be the best part of human life – an age where we are carefree, safe and happy. But a happy childhood is not the reality for many children, who are out-of-school.
Going to school not only ensures a dignified future and a happy present for children, but also gives them a safe space to express themselves, learn, share and grow. Children who drop out often have to work as child labour, are pushed into child marriages, or become victims of child trafficking.

Smile Foundation, through its ‘Shiksha Na Ruke’ initiative has been helping children from difficult circumstances continue their education, with the hope of a brighter future and better life. At present, we are directly providing education to over 120,000 children in 27 states of India.

Despite all the odds, these young champions have not given up and continue to dream and work hard. With your support, we can fuel their dreams with accessible and quality education. Join hands with us to ensure a happy and safe childhood for all!
