We live in difficult times. It’s not easy waking up to the dreadful news of poverty and hunger everywhere. After the pandemic broke out, we’ve seen hundreds of people living in dire poverty. We’ve seen children starving, migrants walking back to their homes, and industries shutting down. It’s only in times like these that we understand the true power of humanitarian aid.
Back in 2012, Archana created a ripple that revolutionized a wave of social change for years to come. She called it Bring A Smile Foundation. Along with a team of like-minded people, Archana gathered everything from homes that no longer needed them (clothes, toys, footwear etc.) and distributed these items amongst the needy.
Bit by bit, word spread and help poured in. A friend created content for the flyer, a resident printed 600 of them and even the newspaper guy distributed them for free in the apartments. An idea was born.
However, Archana’s mother’s demise in 2014 changed the trajectory of her life. The grief caused her to go full steam in being a conduit of help and some wonderful people (her tribe) began to rally around her. Whether it was education (school fees), healthcare assistance or infrastructure construction requests, Bring A Smile Foundation stepped in and began helping 100s of students and adults.
“Putting a smile on someone’s face is a wonderful feeling. If you are the reason behind that smile, you’ve found your purpose in life.” - Archana Suresh
As the years whizzed past, Bring A Smile Foundation entered into newer collaborations in Hyderabad - be it with the Cyberabad Police to set up Smile Boxes in 15 shopping malls and IT Tech parks or with Karachi Bakery to distribute snacks amongst orphans or even with Milind Soman’s Pinkathon. Up until 2020, 50 tonnes of old but reusable items have been sent to 7 cities and many rural areas in India.
When the pandemic broke out in March 2020, it wreaked havoc in the lives of people across the globe. Team Bring A Smile Foundation, stepped up to help in every way possible. When the nationwide lockdown was imposed, Archana and her team at Bring A Smile Foundation embarked on a mission to fight hunger.
Bring A Smile Foundation sponsored 1000+ masks for people in urban and rural parts of Telangana and 6700 packets of sanitary pads for women in the state’s Narayanpet district. This Foundation is also helping weavers, by working closely with them, on the invitation of the District Collector, Narayanpet.
Even though the lockdown has ended, there are many families who need our help. These families don’t have a means of livelihood and are struggling to survive.
You can help Archana Suresh and her team spread smiles across the country by donating a grocery kit.
