Integrated Community Development Program

Integrated Community Development program (ICDP) to serve the backward communities where the family is benefited rather than an individual child.  In this new approach the children receive opportunity to pursue their education while the parents are provided with an opportunity to develop new skills and participate in group activities and also inculcate habit of savings to develop them to reach sustainability. With a small beginning of 50 children in this program it is also expanded further and the present this year strength in this program is 590 children. This is a family focus program.  Through this program over 600 families are being benefited. These families are on the path of development to reach sustainability.

    Challenge.

    Our children need to have learning extended beyond the classrooms to receive the academic and social enrichment that is needed for them to do well in school and prepare for the future. Providing our programs in a safe and engaging environment is SMILE ALWAYS's highest priority. We work in partnership with each community, school, and family to design the program that meets the specific needs. We employ an experienced leadership team and provide a healthy snack.

    Solution
    After school education will help students realize their potential, supplement knowledge and to compensate skill gaps. SMILE ALWAYS makes sure 1,000 under privileged & tribal children remain active, motivated, and happy during their time away from school. Educating the under privileged ultimately will make a change for whole family and future generations.

    Long-term Impact
    SMILE ALWAYS serves students from 1st grade through 12th grade and supports them to reach their full academic potential, prepare for college, and in turn give their time and talents back to their communities. We partner with parents, teachers, and the community to address the comprehensive education needs of our children and advocate for healthy families.
