About Us

Spreading Smiles, a charitable trust based out of Nathupur Gurugram, has been working for the last 10 years for the welfare of 2000+ extremely poor marginalised families of garbage collectors, maids, rickshaw pullers, daily wagers. During this period, we have worked to improve facilities such as renovating toilets, drainage system, construction of bathroom for ladies, installing street lights, metaling roads, giving children health supplements, free medical camps, providing 24x7 pure UV drinking water for 1500 people living in jhuggi cluster, various workshops on cleanliness and tree plantation drives on regular intervals.

For the last 10 years we have been running a free school "Spreading Smiles Gyan Kendra" in the slums for their children wherein 150 kids are provided free holistic education, meals, uniform, clothes, stationery, medical aid, educational tours, computer training, sports, music classes by 5 paid teachers and 5 non-teaching staff in a rented accommodation in Nathupur DLF Phase 3 Gurugram, Haryana.

This is the impact You helped us achieve so far

Most of the children are first generation learners. The school is running successfully into its 10th year because we deliver a holistic curriculum that is a balance of modern education and ancient wisdom. The gender ratio in this school is 50:50 which is significantly higher than the National average. 90% of our students stay in the school against a national average of 37%. Underprivileged children from extremely poor background are brought from rag picking to mainstream education system. Physical and mental health of otherwise under nourished children has improved drastically due to grooming and our Free Mid-Day Meals Project. Feedback from parents and community is very positive.
