"Happy Home Project"

- A Project of free school where we give service like education, food, entertainment programs, games etc, to the slum and street kids. We have different centers of Happy Home Projects.

Since we started our first target is to "Give Smile to All The Needy Children." In this movement Our Target Groups are "Street, slum and destitute Children" in India. We Started welfare activities with the help of our Members, Staffs and Volunteers. We noticed that these section of needy kids are suffering from malnutrition due to unavailability of regular food and dirty/naked body due to unavailability of Shelter and Cloth and always found with lots of diseases because of the unavailability of any Medical support.

And the root of all problems is the Illiteracy. So we decided to Start this Project named, "Happy Home" a non formal free School for these needy kids. We already have three Centers of "Happy Home Project" located in Kolkata (Calcutta) where we are trying to provide food, clothing ,education, Medical Supports,entertainment etc. There are children from Slums and Street. These children will get education till they are 18 years old and get various training in last two years ,to stand on their own feet. We are looking for the long/medium/short term volunteers to work with our children directly where Volunteers can teach these kids in our school, play with them etc. All these children that we have at present are from 4 to 12 years old and they need real love and attachment from our volunteers. In near future, we like to make many more other permanent centers of "Happy Home" through out India. Organization needs huge Volunteers' support to run this project.

"Street Children Welfare Project"

- A project specially for the street kids where we provide services like education, food, cloth, medical treatment, entertainment programs etc. We have different centers of this project.

Since "SMILE -Society" established it was our one of main project and the first center of this Project which is going on from Sealdah Station and our work normally start at the early morning from 5:00-7:30 a.m for these needy kids. We choose this station because it is the main station of Kolkata and there are many needy homeless children who live there. Some of the children live there with their families some of them live there alone. These children are unprotected to the harassment by the police and local mafias.

They don't get any medical support because local hospitals do not care about Street People. This project starts at early moprning. Our volunteers do different activities. Within many type of welfare activities washing, cleaning, food supply, education, medical service, cloth supply (time to time) etc. are main regular services done by the Organization on this place. After washing these kids ,they get breakfast and then our staffs & Volunteers give them basic education, Medical treatment and shear affection and smile with these kids. For this project we need huge number of regular Volunteer Participation,so come and join SMILE and help us to improve our movement & fight against the poverty, hunger, illiteracy. This type of permanent programs we also will going to do from many other places in india.
