Hello Friends,

Buy 36 New Pair of Shoes for the children of Cheryl's Children Home
Buy 35 New Metal Trunks for the children of Cheryl's Children Home
Buy a 4,000 Ltrs. Water Tank for a local primary school for harvesting and storing clean water
Host a Christmas party for 400 Kids between the local village and the children at Cheryl
Buy Clothes & Gifts for 400 kids
Donated $650 towards Building material to Cheryl Children home
Once again friends, our little efforts and big hearts, brought joy, raised smiles, made a difference and a big impact for hundreds of children.
Thank you to all who were able to give during this difficult economic times and also a special thank you for those who have given in the past but were not able to give last year for any reason. As always if you missed out, there always..This year!
Enjoy the pictures below and please share them with your loved ones and friends.


“The deaths of the parents and guardians of some of these children have caused deep wounds and severe trauma to their lives..We can sing so joyously because of groups of people who have tirelessly channeled their energies to assisting us. You are one of them. "

Raised Smiles works to enhance and improve the quality of Childhood by providing social,nutritional,educational and shelter assistance for children in Kenya
Our aim is to provide economically and socially disadvantaged children with simple answers and memories that highlight their young lives. We partner with friends and supporters to give small treasures aimed at brightening childhoods and providing a memorable frame of reference for the children as they grow up.
Our basic solutions designed to enhance childhood includes Christmas parties for hundreds of children every year, back to school clothing, bedding, school books, story books, first pair of shoes among other "child-like" solutions.
