Smile Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, working for the welfare of less privileged children, youth and women in India. Smile Foundation has over 400 projects in 25 states of India that are benefitting more than 1.5 million people every year.
With nearly two decades of extensive experience in the field, Smile Foundation has developed a diverse portfolio with projects in education, health, livelihood, disaster response, and women empowerment. This integrated lifecycle approach addresses the basic indicators of socio-economic progress to achieve sustainable development for the underprivileged in India, with the ultimate objective of poverty alleviation.
Girl children and women beneficiaries have been a core part of all the Smile Foundation programs. In fact, more than 50% beneficiaries of any of our programs are females. Smile Foundation started its activities in the United States in 2020. Empowerment of the less privileged girls and women through health, livelihood and education interventions is one our main initiatives in the US.
Dear Wellwisher,
Smile Foundation, due to its charitable initiatives in India for the last 20 years, has now become synonymous with our commitment to helping beneficiaries from the millions of underprivileged families- children, youth, and women, that we serve through our programs in health, education, livelihood, and women empowerment. From every aspect, so many benefit from the various programs offered by the Smile Foundation.
In keeping with its philosophy of ‘Real Work Real Change’ Smile Foundation works intensively through focused welfare projects in four major areas – child education, healthcare for families, skills training and livelihood for youth, and community engagement through women empowerment.
So far, we have been able to directly impact the lives of over 1.5 million underprivileged people.

Following a lifecycle approach, Smile Foundation, among the top NGO in USA, works intensively through focused welfare projects in four major areas – child education for poor children, healthcare for families, skills training and livelihood for youth, and community engagement through women empowerment.
Smile Foundation believes that the long march for national development starts with the first step of every child across the school gate. Our flagship education programme promotes and catalyzes universal education among underprivileged children, creates processes to mainstream these children in a sustained manner, strengthens their abilities to cope up with the formal education system, facilitates them to emerge as productive assets and sets the foundation for nation building.
It is well recognized that improvement in health status of population is both an important means of sustaining economic and social development as well as an end in itself. Smile Foundation’s thoughtfully designed comprehensive health module ensures that quality and timely healthcare reaches the deprived corners of Indian villages and cities, through a combination of mobile health units, health camps and awareness programmes.
Indian organized job market is characteristic of scarcity amidst plenty with unfilled vacancies coexisting with a large unemployed manpower. This dichotomy is the outcome of the skill deficit of the potential workforce. Smile Foundation’s livelihood initiative seeks to address this gap by providing underprivileged youth the requisite skills to make a legitimate claim for jobs in sectors which are the engines of growth of the Indian economy.
Working with the belief that when women are supported and empowered, the whole society benefits, Smile Foundation’s women empowerment initiative is aimed at empowering women and adolescent girls from lower socio-economic strata and enabling them to realize their potential in every sphere of life – be it home, workplace or community by equipping them with necessary and relevant awareness, access and skills.
