Make Kids Smile is a grass-roots, charitable initiative with a passion to raise money, gift wrap and deliver holiday gifts for children, youth and teens. We personally collect, wrap and deliver gifts to youth communities in different shelters and refugee sites. We will have all gifts ready for wrapping by Dec 18th and we pre-arrange to stop by and deliver each gift personally.
Join us in our mission to practice gratitude, kindness and compassion this holiday season.
After hearing about the challenges of underprivileged and refugee kids in shelters, I decided to put together a Toy Drive to raise money to purchase holiday gifts. One toy = One smile. I can't wait to wrap and personally deliver the gifts with the help of colleagues and friends. We want to make as many smiles as possible with your help and support.

It was our pleasure to donate the Rise.ai technology platform & our time to set up the gifting part of this amazing cause. We have spent this year supporting our local businesses with various initiatives and are thrilled to do our small part to help. We are based in the Middle East but our team is happy to support a charitable initiative.

I have been working with child refugees for over the last ten years. It’s incredible to see how during times of hardship, how something as simple as providing a toy to a child can change their outlook and circumstances.

A Little Bit Can Go A Long Way
Due to the ongoing health crisis, many refugees and underprivileged youth in shelters and under-served communities are struggling more than ever.
Having been left to quarantine in shelters and isolate in their rooms, the social and psychological toll the global health crisis has had on their lives and mental health this year has reached new levels.
Our inclusivity and compassion knows no bounds regardless of race, religion, colour, or background. This is a phenomenal opportunity to come together and safely support our communities.
