As we face these challenging times, we must remember those around the world living in the greatest poverty. It’s very easy to disconnect ourselves from people in other countries at a time when they need to be helped the most. We are a voice for the voiceless and it’s our responsibility to present the challenges of those who need our support.

It’s safe to say that if Smile wasn’t in the communities where we work, helping people receive food, then they wouldn’t eat. If they don’t eat, they become malnourished and eventually die of starvation. This is the harsh reality of what we’re facing in 2023 and yes, it’s shocking. There are no government initiatives, no support packages, no foodbanks and no other charities in the area providing help. That’s why it’s imperative that we continue to support as many people as we can.

For not very much at all, we can make a big difference, a little can go a long way in making someone feel whole again. Everyone has the right to be fed, educated, empowered and communities developed and therefore have a reason to smile.

Where there’s problems, you can bring the solution.

Where there’s tears, you can change them to smiles.

We remain extremely grateful to God for his provision and for you, our supporters, for your prayerful and faithful support. If it wasn’t for you, people in hopeless situations would continue to struggle and not receive the help they so desperately need.

Thank you for your support – every donation truly makes a difference.
