Listed below are ways you can help Smile and we pray that as you read through the areas of need, you will discover a window of opportunity for you. We need people to support us prayerfully, financially and practically. Every contribution, whether it be large or small, will help us to help others.

We would like to thank everyone who gives so generously to support our ministry

GIFTS

Smile International relies on the generosity of its supporters, people like you, for its work. As a registered charity, number 1079730, we are dependent on voluntary income, and through general donations we are able to respond quickly whenever a need arises, and well as continue our work helping to tackle the underlying causes of poverty. If you wish to donate to Smile, full details are on our Donations page.

PRAYER PARTNERS

If you would like to pray for the work of Smile on a regular basis, why not become a Smile Prayer Partner? You will be kept informed of our prayer needs through our monthly Prayer Calendar which can be posted, or emailed to you as a Word document. We can also send you email updates inbetween the Calendars. The text of the current month's Calendar is published on the Prayer Partners page where you may also download the Calendar as a Word document. We greatly esteem and value the advantage the Lord intends us to gain through this largely unseen activity and would like to thank all those who continue to support our ministry in this way.

AID

We are very grateful to all our supporters who have given aid and Christmas shoeboxes, and knitted clothes, blankets and toys. If you are able to help us collect, store, sort and pack aid, or load the trucks, we would be glad to hear from you. Full details of types of aid required is on the Aid Guidelines page. The cost of sending the aid by truck from London to the Balkans is approximately £3,000

WISHLIST

We invite you to view our Wish List page which details some of our present needs, over and above our normal aid requirements.

FUND RAISERS
