Our Mission & Vision

Founded in 2002 by social activist Rahul Verma, Smile Foundation has grown from a small community initiative in South Delhi to a nationally recognized non-profit organization operating across 12 states in India. Our mission is to empower underprivileged children, youth, and women through relevant education, innovative healthcare, and market-focused livelihood programs.

We believe that every individual deserves the opportunity to lead a life of dignity and self-reliance. Our approach is based on the philosophy of "Civic Driven Change," which emphasizes sustainable development through community participation and ownership.

With our headquarters in New Delhi, we have directly impacted over 1.5 million lives through our various initiatives. Our programs are designed to address the unique challenges faced by urban and rural poor in the National Capital Region and beyond.
