What We Do.

We are on a mission

Our mission at The Smile Outreach is to create and implement educational and interventional initiatives that address critical social issues at the grassroots level. We aim to empower women, youths and adolescents by providing them with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to make informed choices and lead dignified lives.

Adolescent Health and Education

We provide comprehensive educational programs that focus on crucial topics such as sexual grooming, menstrual equity, and sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR). By educating adolescents about these issues, we aim to empower them to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

Youth Agency and Leadership

Through our initiatives like the Outreach Youth Lab, we train and support emerging youth leaders. We equip them with the skills and resources needed to drive social change within their communities. This program includes a six-month intensive training that covers advocacy strategies, media campaigns, and community development.

Community Engagement and Advocacy

We are committed to promoting gender equality and ensuring that women have equal rights and opportunities. Our programs address gender-based violence, provide support for menstrual health, and combat harmful traditional practices such as female genital mutilation (FGM).
