SMILE CHILD SPONSORSHIP
We relieve poverty, in particular, but not exclusively, those who are orphans residing at Smile Childrens Charity Village in Uganda and other children and young people in the surrounding area, through providing or assisting in the provision of education and training, educational facilities and such other ways as the trustees may determine. Many of the orphans are South Sudanese refugees.
