About Us

Welcome to the Little Smiles Foundation. We are a nonprofit organization committed to supporting refugee children as they navigate the emotional and psychological challenges of displacement. Our goal is to create safe, nurturing environments where children can play, learn, and grow, even in the midst of crisis.

For many refugee children, the journey away from home is filled with fear, uncertainty, and trauma. At Little Smiles, we work to restore joy, connection, and a sense of normalcy through programs that promote healing on every level — mental, emotional, and physical.

We provide mental health resources and trauma-informed counseling to help children process their experiences and build resilience. We offer structured sports and play programs to foster community, emotional well-being, and physical health. We also deliver nutritious meals and essential health support so children can grow up strong and energized. Through the simple gift of toys, games, and creative activities, we bring moments of joy, imagination, and comfort to children who need it most.

Our team is made up of compassionate professionals and volunteers — including doctors, nutritionists, counselors, educators, and athletic coaches — all working together to support the full spectrum of a child’s development. From emotional healing to physical health, we deliver care that is holistic, intentional, and deeply human.

We believe every child deserves the chance to smile, to dream, and to thrive. Because when you give a child joy, you give them power — and that spark can change everything.
