Who we are

Miles of Smiles Foundation supports children, adolescents, and youth living with or affected by chronic illnesses such as HIV, Tuberculosis, Sickle Cell Disease, Diabetes, and Cardiovascular diseases. The Foundation’s focus on non-clinical support remains paramount because living with such conditions requires more than clinical support; it requires a balance of both clinical and psychosocial support. The foundation continues to use a peer-based approach to provide psychosocial support, life skills training, and financial support because it believes that the only person who can support you to overcome your challenges is one who has gone through them. That is why it has a Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) consisting of young people living with the chronic illnesses it focuses on to guide and support its programming from designing to evaluation
