About Smile Always Foundation

Smile always Foundation (SAF) is a nonprofit organization working for underprivileged children - orphan, destitute and other vulnerable groups and their communities towards a wholesome future filled with hope, dignity, justice, and peace. Reach out to the poorest of the poor in India without respect to caste, creed, and color. We are dedicated to care children, promote independence and build strong families through activities with the resources available.

Smile always Foundation commenced its service during 2005 by providing Food, Shelter, and Education to the Orphan, Semi-Orphan, Destitute, and underprivileged children in some of the backward areas in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in India. Since then we have been involved in child care and education, water and sanitation, health care interventions, environmental awareness, capacity building, women empowerment, saving based activities, and relief at the time of natural calamities.

For needy people. Very good service

The provision of safe drinking water is a key development issue in the target areas, where rural households have no access to clean and safe water and communicable diseases are water-related. Rural households in the rural districts suffer frequent outbreaks of jaundice, diarrhea, and gastroenteritis. Some of the challenges in providing clean water in rural areas include geographic remoteness, poor maintenance of existing systems, and a paucity of public funds. Social factors also contribute to poor service levels in rural areas, notably the caste system and high rates of illiteracy. Providing safe drinking water to poor families in the rural areas of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are critical for the economic development of the region as well as for improving health and living conditions. Our Project beneficiaries belong to Backward Class, Scheduled Caste and Tribal communities who are poor and marginalized. The beneficiaries are laborers in the agricultural fields and some of them go to nearby town in search of their livelihood. The community came forward for their participation in owning the bore well and its maintenance. Community meetings are arranged with village people. This is to mobilize interest and enthusiasm as well as raise awareness about the project. The location of the project is decided by the Local people along with Sarpanch (Village Head). The Children are also beneficiaries in this Project.
