A Happy Smile: The Hope Foundation works to reduce homelessness and hunger by providing shelter and humanitarian aid.
A Happy Smile: The Hope Foundation is a charitable nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that believes everyone deserves food, safe drinking water, a roof and sanitation to name a few of the basic amenities but most of all kindness.
We are dedicated to help those experiencing homelessness move as quickly as possible into permanent housing. Our Foundation helps to eliminate and prevent homelessness by contributing to building tiny homes and affordable homes.
Globally our program provides breakfast and educational assistance to primary school children. We also provide humanitarian aid to orphanages and widows.
Our Mission
We strongly believe that as humans we were never meant to do life alone. We need the love and care of others as much as we are needed by others in the same way, by doing this we honor God.
Our mission is to serve our communities to reduce homelessness and ultimately provide permanent housing solutions. We believe that food, safe drinking water, clothing, shelter and sanitation are the necessities everyone should have.
A Happy Smile: The Hope Foundation works to reduce homelessness and hunger by providing shelter and humanitarian aid. We work with individuals to assist and establish housing stability goals and identify the right steps towards achieving the goals. The foundation coordinates and collaborate effectively with other service providers as needed to assist our clients to reach their goals through community resources.
