Registered charity 1190723 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register

Smile With Gambia started off with an initial project of building a Mosque and a few classrooms. The positive feedback encouraged us to run a Ramadan initiative in April 2020 to provide food packs to the poor and needy. Since then with your support we have grown to deliver a number of projects and hope to continue to serve those who needs us.
