Smile Foundation goes global

Smile Foundation & Childreach International join hands to uplift underprivileged children of South Asian countries

Smile Foundation has entered the European continent by establishing its base in London. The London office of Smile Foundation was inaugurated on July 3. A team from Smile Foundation was present on the occasion.  

The London operation is the result of Smile Foundation’s strategic partnership with Childreach International (CRI), an international development organisation working for children. Smile Foundation through this partnership aims at harnessing the maximum utilisation and facilitation of programmatic support (resources, expertise and donations) into the welfare projects related with children and youth in India and other South Asian countries.

Smile Foundation has observed the apprehensions of the Indian Diaspora about the development sector. They have doubts that their donations may not be put to right use. Smile Foundation intends to apprise them about the credible organisations involved in the development process.

Naresh Chaudhary, Chief Operating Officer, Smile Foundation says, “Our partnership with Childreach International, UK leading to the launch of London office is a significant turn in Smile Foundation’s young but ambitious and adventurous life span. The initiative seeks to create an interface between the riches of western nations and problems of their less fortunate counterparts from Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and India.”

Smile Foundation will be providing a consistent platform to the Indian Diaspora that has ample resources to be used in the development process. Childreach International has partnered with Smile Foundation for its South Asia operations.

“Smile Foundation recognises ‘governance’ as the need of the hour in the development sector so as to ensure and promote application of best management practices, compliance of law and adherence to the best possible ethical standards. The management processes and practices of Smile Foundation are in compliance with principles of ‘good governance’,” says Feroz Patel, Director Operations, ChildReach International.
