Welcome to SMILE ! We are a dedicated NGO and voluntary social welfareorganization founded in 1991, with a mission to transform the lives of under-privileged communities. In the early 1990s, a heartbreaking story unfolded in West Bengal. Avibrant child, full of life, was suddenly diagnosed with congenital heart disease. At that time, facilities for pediatric heart surgery wereextremely limited in the region. The child’s family, struggling with extreme poverty, facedan insurmountable challenge. The father, a rickshaw puller, and the mother, amaid-servant, were unable to afford even their basic necessities, let alone the costlysurgery required for their child’s survival
The profound grief experienced by those who tried so hard to save the child led to apowerful resolve. They vowed that no other child should suffer the same fate. From thiscommitment, the organization “SMILE” (Society Making Impellent Living Effort) wasborn. This group, driven by the memory of that lost child, embarked on a journey toensure that every child with congenital heart disease would have a chance at life. Theybegan their mission with a deep sense of purpose, determined to make a differencedespite the uncertain path ahead.
Over the years, SMILE has expanded its scope beyond heart surgeries, organizing freehealth and eye check-up camps in rural areas, distributing essential supplies likespectacles, winter garments, and school materials, and offering affordable cataract surgeries. Our efforts have been driven by a profound belief in dignity, trust, and theimportance of community collaboration.
During the CORONA Period only our Hospital remained open and two Dedicated andsincere Doctors were sitting over there to see the patients and also we distributedfood Materials to the economically challenged people of the Locality twice in a week .And during the time of 2nd attack CORONA , we provided 7 Nos. Oxygenconcentrators and 5 Nos. Oxygen Cylinders for the people of the areas who weresuffering from Oxygen Problem and our volunteers were in action to extend supportto the people who are in need.
