LEARNING IS FUN

SMILING CHILD is committed to respond to the educational needs of children ages 8 – 13. These children are not in the traditional school system for reasons beyond their control. We aim to develop compassionate relationships and a supportive environment to overcome obstacles to their learning.

Our Vision

Extreme poverty, neglect, dysfunctional families, abuse,
abandonment, death of parents and malnutrition put vast
numbers of children at risk.
They often become street children, orphans, working
children, drug pushers/sellers and end up joining gangs.
These children are powerless to alter their exposure to
these life hazards, and generally have difficulty in getting
access to basic education.

We aim to

  • Draw children ages 8 -13 off the streets and into our classrooms
  • Provide each child with food to assist their growth and brain function
  • Provide basic education to as many children as we can
  • Change disadvantaged children into advantaged children
  • Inspire parents to get involved with our after school activities
  • Change families through educating children
  • Inspire hope
  • Teach adults to read and write
