Programs and initiatives
A piece of a cake for a smile
Is a project that creates awareness for people to remember the various orphanages during the birthdays of board members, the foundation associates and friends by donating “a piece of your cake” such as clothing, shoes, toiletries, provisions, food stuff, etc. to support these homes.

This requires the donation of medical supplies to the pediatric units of public medical facilities for the provision of better health for children. Medical bills are paid by the Foundation for children who are discharged from the hospitals but whose parents cannot raise money for that purpose.

Needy children are always amongst us in our communities including the urban areas like Tema and Accra. Pupils who cannot afford decent school bags but rather use polythene bags or 5 kg rice bags are provided
The Bag for a Smile project is in line with UN’s SDG4. By 2030 the UN believes every child deserves equal access to quality education. The Foundation believes quality education also means a child’s study materials are kept safe for easy access.
These bags filled with school supplies will make these underprivileged pupils feel loved and confident to keep going to school and stay in school knowing that their homework and exercise books are safe from the rains and harsh weather conditions.

Project Smile
“Operation Smile” takes us to orphanages to donate various items to support them and also have quality time interacting with them on various issues. Our social systems are weak such that these orphanages turn to suffer in taking care of the children in their care when help does not come their way. This project also seeks to help deprived communities, renovate schools in deplorable states and get study desks for these children. The Foundation extends gestures of hope and smile to the children.
View Project“Operation Smile for Afiase”
This project seeks to visit the various juvenile prisons and support them with items and also to happily interact them to show love and hope for them. This is done in support of transformational programs put in place by the prisons.
