Beginning in the corridors of education, Smile Foundation adopted a lifecycle approach and extended its thematic areas of intervention by supporting family health, livelihood, and women empowerment.
Children, their families and the community become the target group for Smile Foundation’s activities as child education cannot be done in isolation, without ensuring the welfare of the whole family. Following the lifecycle approach, Smile Foundation has directly impacted the lives of over 1.5 million children and families so far.
Smile Foundation’s education interventions are focused on helping children from difficult circumstances to have access to equal opportunities for school completion and equitable learning outcomes.
