Collaborating to create opportunities for learning and education

A grassroots initiative – together with our local partner organisation BSAC in Chennai, India, we aim to support children in their education, development and rights

About

Who we are

ChennaiSmiles is a Swedish non-profit, founded in 2005 to support children living in slum areas in Chennai, India, in their education.

Since 2014 we have been partnering with the local charity BSAC (Brother Siga Animation Centre), who share our vision, values and passion. All funds raised by ChennaiSmiles go 100% to BSAC’s impactful work.

We envision a future where every individual, regardless of their background, has equal access to education, livelihood opportunities, and social justice.
