Our Mission: Children of the world have the right to experience life with as much joy and hope as possible. For many of the impoverished Childen of India and Tibetan Refugees in India this becomes possible with only a small amount of assistance per child. "Smiles for the Children" creates an environment of hope and respect for children in need at the family level, in which they have opportunities to achieve their full potential, and provides children, families and communities with practical tools for positive change.
