Change is the only constant and adaptability is key to survival and sustained growth in a world powered by technology. For the development sector it is crucial to leverage technology not just as a tool but as a force for good. Our cover story captures our ‘healthcare for all’ dream, as we continue to adapt and adopt new technologies to deliver better healthcare on the ground.

Centering our work on a lifecycle approach, our commitment to empowering individuals to carve their own destinies shines through in our In Focus segment on the Berger Paints skilling programme. In this edition, we bring you the inspiring story of Amrutben, a successful painting contractor who pleasantly surprised us by empowering other women in her own transformative journey.
Explore our insightful write-up on STEM careers in the same segment where our girls challenge gender norms and pursue their passions, regardless of societal expectations. All our initiatives and the stories stemming out of them
are a result of your faith in Smile’s work and we hope to keep the fire burning and alive in the upcoming year.

Hoping that our stories bring a smile to your face and happiness to your heart!
