1. Introduction to Smile Foundation 

Smile Foundation was set up in 2002 by a group of professionals in New Delhi, India. It is a voluntary development organization that focuses on underprivileged children, youth and women. Currently, its interventions are directly benefitting over 15,00,000 children and their families every year, through more than 400 active welfare projects on education, healthcare, livelihood and women empowerment. Please visit our website www.smilefoundationindia.org for more information. 

The Healthcare domain of Smile Foundation has been delivering comprehensive, community-centric primary healthcare services across underserved rural and urban areas since 2006. With a strong emphasis on accessibility, equity, and last-mile delivery, the Foundation has established a significant presence across 16 states and 73 districts, including 27 aspirational districts, reaching over 1 million individuals across 1,130 communities through more than 100 health projects. 

The skilling domain of Smile Foundation brings over 17 years of experience in implementing large-scale skill development programmes across India, with a deep commitment to empowering underprivileged youth and aligning closely with national priorities like the Skill India Mission. The Foundation’s Livelihood Programme, conceptualized in 2006 and operational since 2007, began with a focus on retail sector placements and has since evolved into a robust, multi-sector skilling model addressing the dynamic needs of India’s youth.
