About Us
Giving the abandoned and the poor a home, a hope and a reason to smile.
Our story
Love, care and compassion for those no one else sees
Make A Smile Foundation reaches out to the people who have no one to take care of them: abandoned children, widowed mothers, the elderly and men and women lost on the streets to mental illness.
Our programmes are carried out by the dedicated workers of CFI, which came into existence in 1998 with a vision to see the people of India experience love, care and compassion. Today that work reaches communities across India and Nepal through Children's Homes, Mercy Homes, a Widow Home, schools, skill centres, medical camps and disaster relief.
We believe in the holistic well-being of every person, because transforming a single life can transform a whole community.
What drives us
