Smiley Children Society

SMILEY CHILDREN SOCIETY works to ensure that underprivileged children have a high-quality and broad education, including intellectual, artistic, and p Read moresychological development, as well as rehabilitating, maintaining and improving family relationships. As a new concept, it deliberately focused on experimenting with new aspects to highlight the potential for education needed for children at this age, rather than sending the child to work, resulting in family improvement in later years, and also empowerment of women. Its annual report showcases the reach and impact of its work. In 2020-2021 its Executive committee took an initiative and completed 16 development activities where village communities across 3 villages worked on their own issues, with their own wisdom and resources and then received tons of smiley faces as their reward. Vision: Smiley envisions a world where all children are empowered to achieve their full potential in life and where their families can support them in this process Mission: Smiley works in partnership with underprivileged children, their families and the local community to create/provide day-care facilities and a safe, nurturing family-like environment for children who cannot be taken care of by their own families. It provides vaccination and complete health care, including psychotherapeutic support respecting and protecting the rights of children; including the right to be treated with dignity, the right to protection and the right to confidentiality. Smiley's practice is underpinned by the child rights framework as outlined by the United Nations Convention on the rights of the child, 1989. It responds to each child as a unique individual and works to empower the child to achieve his/her greatest potential. Smiley children society believes that children need the opportunity to develop independent and critical thinking skills so they can become self-reliant and fulfilled adults.
