Medical Camp

We held a medical camp at a village near to Srisailam, India. We provided them basic medicines and asked them for things they need to help them live an easier life. Saving Smiles provided them dental care and basic cough, cold, fever, and other medicines. We plan on providing them a better water supply in the future. If you are interested in donating to provide better water supply to these children then please contact us. We will continue to regularly put on these medical camps.

Helping Exchange Students

In 2014, 24 exchange students from Yemen came over for a year of high school but ended up having to stay in the US since there was a civil war at Yemen and it was unsafe to go back. Now the students are in need of money, each of them needs $2,000 each for basic needs like food and shelter. Funds can be donated through Saving Smiles and the GoFundMe website.

Fresh Water

Saving Smiles identified a village called Tummala Bayalu where there is a scarcity of drinking water due to power irregularities. Thus, people are drinking contaminated water, leading to health issues. Saving Smiles decided to raise the funds to build a water purifier plant to supply clean water by mid year of 2018.

Tummala Bayalu is a small village near Srisailam, Karnool Dt, Andhra Pradesh, India. Tummala Bayalu is situated in the middle of Nallamala forest, around 20 Km away from Srisailam. This village consists of 80-100 families, 300-350 people living. This village gets 2 to 3 hours of power once in 3 to 4 days. People are relying on bore water heavily - this bore generates red colored contaminated water.

The goal of Saving Smiles is to supply clean water by building a small water purifier plant which will have a capacity of around 500 liters per hour. We are aiming to raise $5000 for the first plant to help this village to drink clean water.

VOLUNTEERING: All you have to do in order to start volunteering at Saving Smiles is write us an email that contains some basic information about you, some of your hobbies, and most importantly why you want to help us.

Ending Hunger in Washington

The other cause we plan on aiding this summer is raising money to help donate money and food to Northwest Harvest, a statewide hunger relief agency here in Washington. We plan on raising money by organizing car washes, lemonade stands, setting up booths at farmers markets, garage sales and many more to raise funds for this cause. We also plan on raising money by teaching community members various styles of art.

Future Projects!!!

We would love to help children in Washington for our next cause.
