Reuniting Children with Families Across the World

We help children separated by war and disaster find safety, care, and the families they belong to.

WHO WE ARE

Shelter of Smiles Children Foundation Inc. is a global humanitarian organization dedicated to protecting and reuniting children affected by war, disasters, and crisis situations. We work across multiple countries, partnering with governments, local authorities, and healthcare systems to provide life-saving support for children who have been separated from their families.

“No child should grow up alone, lost, or forgotten.”

The Need Right Now

Around the world, more children than ever are growing up amid war and disaster — and far too many face it alone.

48.8M

children were displaced by conflict and violence worldwide by the end of 2024 — nearly triple the number in 2010.

1 in 5

children globally are now living in areas affected by armed conflict.

100,000s

of unaccompanied and separated children face heightened risk of trafficking, exploitation, and abuse.

Every one of these numbers is a child who needs to be found, protected, and brought home.
