Providing practical skills training to young people. Tailoring, Hairdressing, Motor mechanics, Driving.

Story

Smile Academy is part of the Smile Charity Village where small children are given a home and an education, and young people are trained in skills such as tailoring, hairdressing, mechanics and driving.  

We’re thrilled to be sponsoring 40 more trainees at the Smile Academy in Uganda in Tailoring, Hairdressing and (for the first time) motor mechanics and driving. This will enable these young men and women to acquire skills which will provide them with the means not only to make a living, but to give them a sense of identity and self worth. This impacts not only them, but also their families and the communities they live in.
