Armed with such Vision and Mission
with spirit to make a difference, Smile has chosen key thrust
areas for intervention support. These are:
Under education, Smile strives to promote and catalyze
universal education among children from under-privileged
section of society.
Acknowledging the significance of a healthy child, Children's
health becomes an issue of vital concern to Smile; and health
awareness an integral part of child education.
Smile with its commitment for supporting child welfare initiatives,
undertakes on its own various campaigns from time to time
on social issues relating to children and/ or enabling children
to become catalyst for change. It also encourages such advocacy
efforts undertaken by its partner organizations.
In its endeavor to achieve its mission through key thrust
areas, Smile supports projects in partnership with individuals
and institutions. Besides financial assistance, support
is also extended in the spheres of training and materials,
infrastructure and organization development. The various
types of support extended by SMILE are as follows:
|
- Supporting innovative, need based projects - from concept
development to infrastructure development and project management.
- Catalytic activities such as
- capacity building (institutionalization of individual /
un- organized initiatives),
- technical backstopping / training
- infrastructure strengthening
- logistics support (for quality of services).
- Initiating awareness campaigns on issues concerning children
and youths
- Soliciting individual and community support and contribution
- for the cause of the underprivileged children - through
its ongoing campaign - "YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE".
- Supporting projects exclusively focused on girl child
/ adolescent girls, their socio-economic empowerment.
- Supporting health care services - on an on-going basis -
through camps.
Further Smile is also concerned about sustainability of initiatives
supported by it. It therefore very consciously guides, encourages
and supports resource raising efforts of it's partner organizations.
Also for the purpose, Smile, in-house, has, of late, established
a Resource Cell at its head office in Delhi with objectives
of facilitating resource raising for attaining sustainability
of projects hitherto supported by it. One of the major objective(s)
of the Resource Cell is to explore CSR opportunities with Corporate
houses and facilitating functional linkages with partner organizations
leading to programme support |
