About Raise a Smile

Raise a Smile is a non-profit English-German charity organization. We support children in various projects in Zambia (a developing country in Southern Africa). Our main focus is on education, as we believe that education is the most powerful tool that can be used to escape poverty. Through our commitment we work on your behalf to sustainably improve the lives of orphans and other vulnerable and underprivileged children.
