We Are

The Chenwi’s Smile Foundation is the fruit of a personal initiative of Mme. CHENWI CAROLINE which started timidly back in August 2016. She saw how sharing her widow`s mite with societal have-nots could actually be life changing.

The Foundation currently supports  over 150 (one hundred and fifty) widows and 170 (one hundred and seventy) orphans.Top of FormBottom of Form
