Our Mission
We trust in the power of our God who made all people, and believe that Jesus, God in the flesh, set us an example of hope, mercy and love for our neighbor. As a result, Smile A Child (SAC) seeks to express and live out the example of love through our presence and through the sharing of our resources with vulnerable and at-risk children in Uganda.
Who we are
Smile A Child comprises of HIV/AIDS affected, vulnerable street and orphaned children. We identify the most vulnerable and nurture them for a brighter future. With the help of friends and relatives, we have successfully been able to help over 270 orphaned children who would otherwise have no hope for tomorrow.
At the moment, we provide children with general welfare, and some are attending different schools already. We continue to solicit sponsorship for every child under our care and we make sure they have a good education, scholastic materials, clothes and medical care.
We also work with at-risk children. These are children that have been either street boys or girls (homeless) or children who, due to poverty or abuse, would not receive an education without outside assistance. Smile A Child helps in these cases and gives them the education that they deserve and in most cases would never receive.
Join the fight
Partner with us
Growing up in poverty, children face tough challenges: hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and medical services, social discrimination and isolation. But with support from people like you, we can help children get the health care, education, life skills, job-readiness training and confidence they need to create lasting change in their lives and communities. Together, we can end poverty for good.
