Program pillar

Smile Drive

Hygiene, empowerment and donation programs. We restore dignity through hygiene support and equip young people with the skills that build self-worth.

Smile Drive brings essential supplies and practical education to schools, shelters, informal settlements and rural communities. We believe no girl should miss school because of her period, and that dignity is the foundation for confidence.

Our goal

To promote menstrual health, dignity and equal opportunity in education.

Projects

How Smile Drive works in practice

Pad Her, Make Her Smile

Our annual flagship donation campaign. Each year has a new theme and reaches schools and communities with sanitary pads and essential hygiene kits.

Dignity Project

Twice-yearly distribution of hygiene kits, scholastic materials, clothes, soap and financial support in schools and shelters, together with sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and self-care education. Linked peer groups and workshops cover budgeting, self-management and personal development.

How we work

We go to schools, communities and youth groups

Every program combines talk, action and follow-up, so the impact lasts long after our team has left.

  1. Talk

    Honest, stigma-free conversations that help young people name what they are feeling and know they are not alone.

  2. Act

    Workshops, sport, games, creative arts and practical support that turn awareness into new skills and habits.

  3. Follow up

    We return, check in and connect people to further support, so progress continues long after a session ends.
