Who We Are & What Makes Us Different

Since 2005, Spread Smile India has been working at the grassroots to create lasting change through education and empowerment. Founded by Sangita Mehra, the organisation is rooted in lived experience and the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

We work with marginalized communities in Delhi, providing holistic support that goes beyond classrooms—combining education with nutrition, skill development, emotional well-being, and family empowerment.

Why we exist: Because education is not just about schooling, but about dignity, independence, and breaking cycles of poverty.

Our mission is to transform lives from streets to classrooms and enable families and communities to build self-reliant futures.

  • Supporting underprivileged children and families through education and care
  • Reaching vulnerable communities across 7+ traffic signals in Delhi NCR
  • Enabling women towards financial independence
  • Equipping youth with life and skill-based learning for better futures
