Standing With Jamaica: We Are Bigger Than The Storm Together🇯🇲

Since 2013, the SMILE Foundation has been empowering women and children in Jamaica through our Art of Healing program using creativity, emotional wellness, and community care to uplift those who need it most.

During last year’s Diaspora Day of Service in Prosper Hall, Jamaica 🇯🇲, we distributed wellness packages with essential toiletries to women in need small acts of support that make a meaningful difference in times of hardship.

As Hurricane Melissa continues to impact families across the island, SMILE will be organizing new wellness packages for mothers and children in the hardest-hit communities, ensuring they receive comfort, care, and critical essentials during recovery.

✨ We are bigger than the storm and together, we can rebuild Jamaica and put SMILEs on the faces of those affected once again.
