Smile Malawi is a charitable trust founded in the UK to help orphaned and vulnerable children in Malawi.

The first Smile Malawi Childrens' Centre opened in Ndokota in southern Malawi in October 2006.

As well as providing safe shelter for children (these 12 children aged between 4 and 12 were the first to make the Centre their home) we provide employment for 15 local residents. The Gallery has more pictures.

We now have 23 resident children. Smile Malawi is having a big impact not only on the children themselves, but on the whole community, and we are now looking at providing schooling to the village.

Elspeth Baecke, Smile Malawi's founder, has produced regular newsletters on Smile Malawi's progress; they are on the Progress page.

Here you can see a short video introducing the Centre and its children.

Please help us to help more children by making a donation.
